Origin

Rooted in Arghakhanchi, Nepal; shaped by research across borders.

My path starts in Gairagoth, Dhikura, a hilly village setting in Arghakhanchi, Nepal, and continues through engineering study in Butwal, graduate research in Korea, and international work in AI, vision, robotics, and autonomous systems.

Gairagoth Butwal Korea Global R&D

Along the way, research visits, conferences, collaborations, and business work have taken me across Singapore, China, Canada, Korea, Japan, Belgium, Germany, and the USA.
