About Me.
Hi, I'm Abhaya Ghimire, a passionate Software Engineer and MSc student in Software Systems Engineering at University College London. With a strong foundation in full-stack web development and AI integration, I specialize in building scalable, user-centric applications using React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Python.
Currently, I'm working with IBM on an AI-powered framework for modernizing legacy enterprise systems, focusing on intelligent code transformation using vector databases and dynamic embeddings. Alongside, I freelance as a front-end developer, delivering responsive, internationalized websites tailored to diverse user bases.
