// Biography
I am an NLP researcher and machine learning engineer based in Kathmandu, Nepal, interested in language model behavior, evaluation, and multilingual NLP.
Evaluation is one of my main research tools. I use it to study model behavior across languages, cultures, modalities, and task settings, especially when benchmark results travel poorly outside their original setting. My work spans multilingual and multimodal evaluation, multilingual language modeling, AI-generated text detection, cultural representation in vision-language models, regulatory NLP, and agentic reasoning systems.
A side interest of mine is how these findings can eventually inform better model and system design for language technologies, alongside better ways of studying them.
I currently serve as ML Agents Community Lead at Cohere Labs. In parallel, I work as a Researcher at ZeroGrad.ai, and as an AI Engineer at Dogma Group. Previously, I was a Research Fellow at Traversaal.ai, and a Community Researcher at Cohere Labs. I have also taught AI, embedded systems, and programming at both the National College of Engineering and Pulchowk Campus. My recent publication record spans ICLR, NeurIPS, IJCNLP-AACL, COLING workshops, and CANDAR.
