My Projects

Custom Book

Full-stack application for creating personalized children’s books as meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts. Built with Python, React(via Next.js), TypeScript, CSS, and HTML, the app uses conversational AI and microservices architecture to generate custom narratives and illustrations. A fully automated backend pipeline handles creating, printing, and shipping. The application is deployed on a self-hosted, multi-location Kubernetes cluster, ensuring high availability and scalability.

Dharma Guru AI

Full-stack application featuring an interactive voice-to-voice AI Dharma Guru, fine-tuned on traditional religious texts to deliver culturally grounded guidance on rituals, customs, and spiritual practices. Uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to reference canonical sources in real time, significantly reducing hallucinations and ensuring accurate, context-aware responses. It generates personalized birth charts (Kundali) and provides tailored advice on auspicious timings and methods for performing traditional Nepali ceremonies.

Raag Info

An interactive, one-stop encyclopedia of Indian classical raags, curated from online sources. Search and explore raags by mood, time of day, season, and more. Built with vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
