About Me

Passionate about advancing AI and data science while leveraging expertise in cybersecurity, SRE, and DevOps to build secure, scalable, and intelligent systems with real-world impact.

Sarthak Pokhrel

Hi, I'm Sarthak Pokhrel

I'm currently pursuing my M.S. in Data Science at Fordham University, building on a B.Tech in Computer Science (AI) from India. I have professional experience as a Cloud and DevOps Engineer at Hitachi and a strong passion for AI, machine learning, and data-driven solutions. My journey combines engineering expertise with analytical skills to create predictive models and deploy scalable, impactful solutions.

When I'm not analyzing datasets or building predictive models, you'll find me developing AI agents, deploying scalable solutions in the cloud, and optimizing workflows through DevOps practices. I also contribute to open-source AI projects and stay up-to-date with the latest research in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
