Building ML systems that solve real problems, not just papers
I'm Asahi Lama Sherpa, an ML engineer who builds systems that work in production, not just in papers. I focus on probabilistic modeling, computer vision, and NLP—turning research into shipping code that delivers measurable impact.
My work spans competitive prediction systems (2nd place, 2 years running), real-time face recognition with minimal training data, and production-grade semantic search processing 1,000+ articles daily.
Outside of code, I've won national debate championships (2×), led teams to optimize million-dollar resource allocations, and presented research on particle physics and biosignal analysis. I care about building things that solve real problems and explaining them clearly to anyone—technical or not.

🏆 Competition
2× National Debate Champion. I love the thrill of competition and proving systems work under pressure.
🔬 Research
Presented research on particle physics (X-17 boson search) and biosignal analysis for ADHD triage.
🤝 Leadership
Resident Advisor supporting 100+ residents. Led teams to optimize million-dollar resource allocations.
Want to build something together?
I'm looking for AI/ML internships where I can ship production systems and work with teams solving real problems. Let's talk.
