About Amit Timalsina

I am a self-taught Machine learning engineer. As an ML engineer, my application areas have been logistics, eCommerce, health tech, linguistics, and Document AI, where I have used Machine Learning, Natural Language processing, and MLOPs for my day-to-day work to build End-to-End Machine learning solutions. I love reading books and watching movies/TV shows. I post about #machinelearningengineering and #productivity. Soon will post about #projectmanagement #buildingproduct. Currently, I am learning everything there is to Generative AI to build Kniru.
