A concise version, kept current.

Summary

Computer engineering student building correctness-heavy software across protocol tooling, systems, verification, and machine learning. Work includes upstream Linux kernel, Tetragon, and Pyrefly contributions, a BIP 352 differential harness that helped surface Silent Payments edge cases, and shipped tools for study, document retrieval, and public-service translation.

Selected work

SP-DIFFER

• Built a differential harness for BIP 352 Silent Payments with a native runner, CLI, reporter, semantic adapters, regression fixtures, fuzzing, benchmarking, and release-verification lanes.
• Used the harness to reduce and report order-dependent edge cases in spdk and bdk-sp; both projects acknowledged the bug class upstream, and one reduced case later became merged BIP-352 test-vector coverage.

PaperSorted

• Built a static exam-paper archive for Kathmandu University with subject search, program-aware browsing, and inline PDF viewing across 561 subjects and 2,792 papers.
• Modeled 17 program tracks and 138 semester groupings, then generated static manifests and search data so retrieval stays fast without introducing a backend.

ZK Guardian

• Built a privacy-first healthcare prototype spanning React Native, Express, Circom, Solidity, and FHIR R4 to verify clinician access with zero-knowledge proofs without exposing patient identity on-chain.

SANAD

• Built a trust-first document translation tool with FastAPI, React/Vite, scoped memory, protected-entity checks, deterministic risk flags, human review, and export/feedback-pack workflows.
• Placed 1st in the Google TMT Hackathon 2026 File Translation Tool Track as team SPAN, a two-person team building under KU ILPRL’s Google-supported TMT project.

AXIOM-4

• Built a 4-bit RISC-inspired microprocessor in Verilog with banked memory, a custom ISA, assembler tooling, and simulation/verification through Icarus Verilog and GTKWave.

Recognition & upstream contributions

• HackForUHC 2026 | Won 1st place as team CLAIM∅ at HackForUHC 2026 (held June 18-19, 2026); invited to participate and presented our solution at the 10th anniversary openIMIS Community Meeting, Kathmandu (June 23-25, 2026).
• JunctionX Kathmandu 2026 | Won the overall prize and the Hydropower & Sustainable Energy track as team Pikachu, earning the Golden Ticket to the global Junction stage in Finland.
• Linux kernel | 2026: 13 commits verified in mainline Linux; work spans Bluetooth SSP UAF (CVE-2026-46056), AMD XDNA/PowerVR DRM, PCIe error paths, KUnit/cmdline/printf/seq_buf coverage, and a stable-tagged IIO DMA fix.
• cilium/tetragon | 2026: Merged a kprobe return-path validation fix for unsupported returnArgAction values, adding regression coverage and carrying the clarified semantics through CRDs, docs, vendored schema copies, and examples.
• facebook/pyrefly | 2026: Merged a descriptor-semantics fix for stub and interface declarations, adding regression coverage for inherited .pyi descriptors and reducing real-world false positives in mypy_primer results.
