I completed the 'Introduction to Cybersecurity' course through the Cisco Networking Academy program on September 22, 2020. This achievement was an essential step in expanding my knowledge of cybersecurity. The course provided me with foundational skills in cybersecurity concepts, strengthening my understanding of how to protect information and networks in an increasingly digital world.

I completed this course while I was in 9th grade, which was a significant milestone for me. Since I was already familiar with C programming concepts, learning Python became much easier. This prior knowledge not only accelerated my learning but also allowed me to appreciate Python’s simplicity and flexibility compared to C.

C was the first programming language I learned, starting in 7th grade, though I initially found it complex and completed it in 8th grade. Attending this workshop during 9th grade gave me a great opportunity to challenge myself with university-level concepts, earning 2nd place and providing a significant boost to my confidence early in my programming journey.

Exhibited 'Armikochan', a custom 5DOF robotic arm built from scratch. The event was a major milestone that provided incredible public exposure, positive feedback, and valuable connections. (Find more details about this project in the "Works" tab.)

Secured 1st place in the high school project demonstration category organized by SOMAES at IOE Pulchowk Campus, validating the hardware and control design of 'Armikochan' before a panel of engineering judges. (Find more details about this project in the "Works" tab.)

I completed the 'React JS - Complete Guide for Frontend Web Development' course on November 10, 2024, through Udemy. This course deepened my knowledge of React JS and strengthened my frontend web development skills, equipping me to create dynamic, responsive web applications.

I participated in the "Proteus: PCB Design and Fabrication Workshop" from June 20 to 23, 2025, organized by the Electrical Club, Pulchowk Campus. This workshop improved my skills in PCB design, circuit simulation, and fabrication using Proteus, providing valuable hands-on experience for creating custom circuit boards in my robotics and electronics projects.

I completed the 'C++ Intermediate to Advanced Course with Project' on August 12, 2025, through Udemy. This course enhanced my understanding of advanced C++ concepts and practical applications, enabling me to write efficient, robust, and maintainable code. As part of my ongoing journey in robotics, this course strengthened my ability to tackle complex programming challenges.

Secured 1st position in the main Project Showcase during Yathartha 2082, organized by ECAST and FSU at IOE Thapathali Campus. Presenting my work here offered an amazing platform to demonstrate hardware and engineering solutions to peers and tech enthusiasts. (More details about the project can be found in the "Works" tab.)

Exhibited 'Armikochan V2' and won top honors in the Non-Thematic Hardware category at LOCUS 2026 (IOE Pulchowk Campus). This upgraded iteration reflected key improvements in control precision and structural design over the original project. (More details about the project can be found in the "Works" tab.)

Secured 1st place in the Open Project Demonstration at VECTOR (3rd National Technical Festival), organized at IOE Pashchimanchal Campus, Pokhara. Great opportunity to connect with peers across campuses and demonstrate practical engineering concepts. (More details about the project can be found in the "Works" tab.)
