JHA.

I build AI products that real people use — and lead the teams that ship them. A pandemic platform that helped 900+ families. AI that speaks Nepali to 30 million people. An FX model that's 98% accurate.

TODAY'S AI CREATES OUTPUTS — THEN THE INTELLIGENCE STAYS BEHIND THE INTERFACE.

Speak an idea and watch it become a living world: objects with identity, relationships, rules, and memory of every change. Not Ask, Generate, or Delegate — the fourth mode, where you think and the world responds. Simulated in miniature.

Bhanu: Saving Stories

Nepali folk stories die with the grandparents who tell them

An NLP pipeline that archives and translates regional Nepali folk stories before they disappear — built by ten high-school students I recruit, train and lead. Technology pointed at memory.
