Where it began
Kathmandu, Nepal
Kathmandu, Nepal. The beginning of a lifelong curiosity about mathematics, nature’s geometries, and the cosmos.

04 / Behind the work
More than
the code.
I think of technology as applied philosophy: a way to turn questions about the world into things that work in it.
Computer science, mathematics, physics, and philosophy have always pulled me in different directions. Building AI gives those interests somewhere to meet. I’m especially drawn to visual understanding, intelligent agents, and the assumptions we make when we model the world.
Away from the terminal, you’ll find me training for bodybuilding competitions, riding through Nepal’s hills, writing poetry, talking about cinema, or losing track of time in a good conversation.
