Hi, I'm Bikash a Machine Learning Engineer who takes AI systems from prototype to production: fine-tuned LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, inference APIs, and NLP/audio pipelines built to actually run in real applications, not just notebooks. I help businesses move from AI ideas to working software: training and fine-tuning models, building APIs, optimizing inference, integrating ML into applications, and deploying systems that are practical, reliable, and easy to maintain. What I can help you with: 1. LLM fine-tuning and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, with structured, citation-grounded outputs 2. Machine learning models for classification, prediction, scoring, and decision support Production ML workflows using Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, FastAPI, Docker, and cloud deployment 3. NLP systems for summarization, translation, semantic search, recommendations, and text-to-speech 4. Audio AI systems, including sound classification, scoring logic, temporal smoothing, and lightweight inference APIs 5. Backend integration for ML products using REST APIs, FastAPI, Flask, databases, and cloud deployment What I've actually built: 1. Khabar AI: an end-to-end AI news platform using 36+ RSS sources, mBART summarization, English-to-Nepali translation, Qdrant semantic search, recommendations, newsletters, and Piper TTS. 2. MarketGyan: a Nepal-focused financial NLP system extending Khabar AI into Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) market analysis. I built a 500-row bilingual benchmark and fine-tuned a Qwen3.5-9B LoRA adapter for structured, evidence-grounded extraction, reaching 1.000 structured-output validity and 0.796 relevance macro-F1, then deployed a retrieval-augmented generation runtime delivering cited, disclaimer-gated market answers. 3. Laughter Detection & Scoring System: a cloud-deployed audio classification API using YAMNet embeddings, TensorFlow Lite optimization, FastAPI, and Google Cloud Run. I built probability aggregation, temporal smoothing, and noise-aware thresholds, reaching 93.33% accuracy, 0.909 F1, 1.0 recall, and 0.95 balanced accuracy. 4. EEG Epilepsy Detection System: a deep learning signal-classification pipeline for EEG-based epilepsy detection, reaching 99.47% classification accuracy in academic evaluation. 5. Text-to-Speech System: a Nepali TTS project using Coqui TTS, Glow-TTS, HiFi-GAN, Gradio, and Librosa, reaching 4.07/5.0 MOS with about 2-second CPU inference per 10 words. I'm also currently a Research Intern at Kathmandu University's Information and Language Processing Research Lab (ILPRL), working on active learning and low-resource speech ASR so I stay current with the field, not just applied delivery work. Core skills and tech stack: Machine Learning: production ML, model serving, inference APIs, ML pipelines, deep learning, model evaluation, active learning AI/NLP/LLMs: semantic search, summarization, translation, speech synthesis, audio classification, LLM fine-tuning (LoRA), retrieval-augmented generation Frameworks: Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, Keras, Pandas, NumPy, Librosa, XLM-R, Qwen Deployment: FastAPI, Flask, REST APIs, Docker, TFLite, Google Cloud Run, vLLM, Gradio, Git, Linux Databases and search: SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQLite, Qdrant vector search Certifications: Google Cloud Computing Foundations, Dataquest Data Scientist in Python, Dataquest Deep Learning in TensorFlow I focus on clean code, clear communication, measurable results, and AI systems that can actually be integrated into real applications. I also have fluent English proficiency, with IELTS 7.0 / CEFR C1. If you need a Machine Learning Engineer who can turn your idea into a working model, API, or deployable AI system, send me a message and I'll help you plan the best approach.
