My name, प्रज्वल, is Nepali for flame. I grew up in Kathmandu, studied computer science and engineering in Vellore, India, and moved to Toronto in 2024 for a graduate certificate in AI and machine learning. Somewhere along the way I found that I like every layer of a problem: the model, the application wrapped around it, and the servers it runs on.

Today I work at David Sklar & Associates in Toronto. My title says IT technician; my days cover the firm's infrastructure, the internal tools I build so work runs smoother, and AI products such as a chatbot for the website. I care about software that is quietly reliable and interfaces that feel obvious.

Working at the seam between machine intelligence and the people who rely on it.
