Industrial Mathematics · IIT Madras
I'm a student at IIT Madras in Industrial Mathematics and Scientific Computing. Before this I studied industrial engineering at IOE Thapathali. I'm still figuring things out — mostly interested in optimization and applied math.
Lately that looks like writing and reviewing math for learning systems and AI benchmarks: curriculum design at Math Academy, and Mercor roles around FrontierMath, olympiad-style problems, LaTeX OCR QA, and rubric-based model grading.
I also help with optimization community events at Optimization4All, and I've spent years with the Mathematical Association of Nepal on olympiad problems, training, and contest coordination.
Selected work
Mercor — Math & STEM
