Hi, I'm Gaurav.
I teach computers to listen, talk and look at things, preferably in Nepali. I'm an AI engineer in Kathmandu, a licensed computer engineer, and the person whose 3D face is on the home page (go on, say hi to it).
Explorer of knowledge, not prisoner of perfection.
The quick version
- Day job
- AI and software engineer at Proshore, building AI assistants that read a company's documents so people don't have to.
- Phone calls answered
- 90,000+. Not by me, by a Nepali voice bot I built. It never got tired; I did.
- Proudest tiny model
- A parasite-egg detector that lost 58% of its weight and got more useful. Peer-reviewed, even.
- Lowest-level flex
- A chat server in plain C. Sockets, threads, no frameworks, a lot of valgrind.
- Most fun side quest
- Minecraft bots that pick a leader, build castles together and rescue each other at night.
- When not coding
- Making music, designing posters for developer events, and building a piano for the browser.
How I got here
High school: I learned Python to break into things (legally). Nights went to TryHackMe rooms, mornings to pretending I'd slept.
The pandemic: stuck at home, I collected languages like souvenirs: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, C and C++. Then I met machine learning, and I never really left.
College: Computer Engineering at Kantipur Engineering College, finished with distinction. Somewhere between the labs I won a few hackathons (one for a maths game starring a witch), placed 7th in Nepal at IEEEXtreme, and published two papers: one on spotting parasite eggs under a microscope, one on recognising birds by their songs.
Work: five years of freelance apps and backends, including a Flutter app for the Bagmati Provincial Assembly. Then a year making machines speak Nepali at ekGhanti: speech recognition, a cloned voice, and a phone bot that took those 90,000 calls. Now I build AI agents at Proshore.
Things I care about
Nepali AI. Most AI is built for English first. I like making it work for the language I think in.
Small, honest models. If it runs on a cheap phone and admits when it doesn't know, I'm happy.
Community. I'm the Ed-Tech Lead at Google Developer Groups Kathmandu, where I help run DevFest and Google I/O Extended. I've also organised UbuCon Asia 2025, taught Git to 50+ students as a Leapfrog Student Partner, and I'm a Notion Campus Leader, which means I have strong opinions about how you organise your notes.
