Hey, I'm

AI & Medical Image Analysis

I build deep learning systems that turn medical and real-world images into actionable insight with a growing focus on ophthalmic disease detection, computer vision, and applied machine learning.

About

Who I am

I'm a Computer Engineering undergraduate with a strong interest in artificial intelligence, medical image analysis, and computer vision. I've built full working systems from a web-based attendance platform to deep learning models for crop disease and retinal disease detection — and I'm continuing to specialize in AI for healthcare, where early, accurate detection can genuinely change outcomes.

Data science is a tool I use to get there. What I care about most is building models that see and reason the way a specialist would, and shipping them as systems people can actually use.

Where I've worked

Applied research and internship experience alongside my degree.

AI Research Intern

May 2026 – August 2026
NAAMII — Nepal Applied Mathematics and Informatics Institute for research
  • Trained and evaluated EfficientNet (B1–B4) models for RFMiD multi-disease retinal classification, ARMD screening, and Papilledema/Pseudopapilledema detection under NAAMII's TOGAI (Transforming Global Health with AI) research group
  • Performed manual retinal-image annotation (eye laterality, macular and optic-disc landmarks) and organized datasets at the patient level for clinical-grade training
  • Contributed trained models to the AI Screening Suite, a web-based platform for ophthalmology, syndrome, and otoscopy screening, and presented weekly progress to supervisor Mahesh Shakya

Specialization

Ophthalmology & Retinal Disease AI

Deep learning models for detecting and classifying retinal disease from fundus images the specific direction I'm building my medical imaging focus around.

RFMiD Retinal Disease Classification

EfficientNet · Fundus Imaging

Trained an EfficientNet-based classifier on the RFMiD dataset to detect retinal disease from fundus images.

Retinal Multiclass Disease Detection

Multiclass Classification · CNN

Extended retinal disease detection to a multiclass setting, distinguishing between multiple retinal conditions from a single model.

Papilledema Detection

Deep Learning · Medical Imaging

A classification model focused on detecting papilledema from retinal images, an early indicator that can signal raised intracranial pressure.
