Born and raised in Nepal, I developed a fascination for how technology can transform lives. I graduated from LaGuardia Community College with honors and a GPA of 3.89, before transferring to York College (CUNY), where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science with a Minor in Business Administration. I was awarded the NSF Scholarship and achieved multiple academic accolades for excellence and innovation.
During my internship at TIQC, I worked as a Data Intern and Software Engineering Intern. My tasks included auditing webpages for performance, enhancing front-end efficiency, and collaborating on backend logic improvements. The experience sharpened my problem-solving, teamwork, and analytical thinking.
As an IT Support Technician & Library Mentor, I assisted students and faculty with hardware and software troubleshooting, managed Excel-based inventory tracking, and ensured efficient tech support operations across library systems. This role strengthened my leadership, patience, and technical versatility.
As the Lead Author of the Smart Traffic Light Control system research, I received a $6,000 CUNY Grant and presented the project at IEEE SUSTECE (California) and ERN STEM (Atlanta). The project was published in IEEE Proceedings (2024).
I completed a 7-month intensive Data Engineering program where I trained on Python, SQL, AWS, Azure, Kafka, Databricks, Snowflake, and Airflow. This experience refined my cloud data architecture and pipeline development expertise.
I aim to contribute to the competitive tech industry by applying data-driven innovation that benefits real people. I plan to continue my academic journey through a Master’s and eventually a Ph.D., focusing on impactful data systems and smart automation.
Beyond academics, I enjoy soccer, chess, and exploring new technologies. I love mentoring peers, analyzing data trends, and staying informed about global innovation. My hobbies reflect my curiosity, creativity, and persistence.
