■ Technical Lead on NASA's Science Discovery Engine, collaborating with scientists, web developers, cloud experts, and NASA stakeholders to enhance the discoverability and accessibility of NASA's science and data.■ Architected, deployed, and maintained innovative web applications that maximize the value of NASA's satellite imagery, driving significant impact and visibility.■ Mentored and led incoming Graduate Research Assistants (GRAs) and interns, ensuring they quickly became fully integrated and productive team members.■ Conducted technical lunch-and-learns and demos to share expertise within the team, and represented the team at various high-profile conferences, showcasing our advancements and contributions.

NASA-IMPACT is a group of researchers and scientists funded by NASA and operating under The University of Alabama in Huntsville on cutting-edge technical research.■ As a Graduate Research Assistant with NASA-IMPACT, I built scalable tools to help NASA scientists gather and interpret data for their research tasks.■ I also helped apply machine learning algorithms to the data to identify interesting patterns.■ Worked on a project to detect earth science phenomena such as hurricanes from satellite imagery.

I contributed to two high-impact national projects in Nepal, delivering critical technology solutions that supported earthquake recovery and enhanced geo-spatial data infrastructure.1. Earthquake Housing Reconstruction Project (EHRP):Led the development of digital tools for the post-earthquake reconstruction of 700,000+ private homes after the 2015 Nepal earthquake.Key Contributions:■ Developed a mobile application to capture real-time reconstruction data from the field■ Built a Python/Django web application to process and integrate field data with the EHRP MIS via API■ Conducted large-scale data cleaning, analysis, and reporting using Python (Pandas) and Excel■ Visualized data insights through interactive maps using QGIS, supporting key decisions for the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA)■ Collaborated with NRA on strategic decisions around data and software components for the project2. Nepal GeoNode: Customized an open-source platform to serve as Nepal’s comprehensive GIS data repository, streamlining access to geo-spatial information for analysis and decision-making.Key Contributions:■ Tailored the GeoNode platform to meet Nepal’s specific needs for managing and sharing geo-spatial data■ Automated data backups and migration processes using Python, Linux/bash, and rsync■ Managed the cleanup of shapefiles and geo-spatial data using Python and Linux tools■ Attended the 2018 GeoNode Summit in Torino, Italy, representing Nepal on the global stage

■ Built a Django-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) for martial arts schools. ■ Handles several hundred gigabytes of data from martial arts schools across New York and Pennsylvania. ■ As the tech lead, I also managed a team of 5 developers working on the project.

■ Co-founded IT company during college.■ Built web applications for clients, both local and international.■ Helped people get access to affordable web hosting in Nepal.

■ Built the backend for a web application to create, share and discover infographic flowcharts online.■ Worked with a frontend developer, successfully integrated all components, and deployed the first version to Amazon AWS.
