Research Experience
-
SEPT 2024 - Present University of California, LA
Research Student
- Advisor: Prof. Konstantinos Kallas
- Working on the automatic synthesis of tool code for LLM agents
- The project allows developers to specify code for integrating databases and APIs in natural language, making it easier to build LLM agents.
Projects
- APR 2024 - SEPT 2024
Compass AI
Generative AI Agent for Automated Video Editing
- Created an AI system to automatically edit short videos.
- Experimented two methods:
- LLM-based Decision Making: Attempted to use a Large Language Model (LLM) to select relevant editing effects from a predefined set; however, this approach proved unviable as it required effects to be limited to the set.
- Code Generation for Effects: Explored generating custom editing effects directly with the LLM using example-based prompts, but the output did not achieve a human-like quality in editing.
- Created an AI system to automatically edit short videos.
- MAR 2023 - JULY 2023
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending System
A platform for direct borrowing and lending between individuals without relying on traditional banks.
- Nepal lacks P2P lending platforms such as LendenClub in India and LendingClub in the US, which prompted us to create a tailored model during our undergraduate studies
- Invited by the Economic Research Department of Nepal Rastra Bank, the Central Bank of Nepal, to present our approach to their officials.

Zakipoint Health
US based Healthcare company working in Big Data and AI analytics
- Deployed Mistral 7B on company's cloud infrastructure to enable HIPAA-compliant use of large language models (LLMs)
- Implemented LLM based document automation tool which reduced information extraction time from 45 minutes to 6 minutes with Human-in-the-Loop approach
- Developed end-to-end automation for processing Machine Readable Files using PySpark and Elasticsearch, doubling workload capacity by enabling 24/7 server use
-
SEPT 2021 - APR 2023 Jr. Software Engineer
CodeHimalaya
Nepal based Fintech company working in Mobile Banking
- Built a scalable API middleware for Core Banking Systems vendors using a multi-tenant architecture, enabling efficient data management for multiple clients
- Implemented a secure centralized microservice for user authentication and access management, designed to authenticate requests for all downstream services.
- Enhanced data security in a neo-banking project by developing a microservice, which tokenizes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data before sending it to the data lake.
