About Me

Hi, I'm Biraj Rijal, a machine learning enthusiast from Kathmandu, Nepal. I'm passionate about applying machine learning and statistical analysis to solve real-world problems.

Currently studying and building projects across audio signal processing, NLP, and predictive modeling. I believe data tells a story — my job is to find it and communicate it clearly.

When I'm not training models, I'm exploring new datasets, writing about what I learn, or contributing to open-source projects.
