The Strategic Advantage
The gap between AI hype and what founders actually need is massive. You probably don't need to train a 100-billion parameter foundation model from scratch. You likely need a robust classification endpoint, intelligent data extraction, or a perfectly prompted RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline.
I focus on practical AI. Whether it's integrating the OpenAI API to summarize complex reports, or training a custom scikit-learn model for a specific classification task, I build AI features that ship to production and actually drive revenue.
I've built and deployed a Fake News Detection System achieving 94% accuracy using TF-IDF and LSTM, wrapped in a FastAPI endpoint. That's real AI in production, not just a ChatGPT wrapper.

How I Work
Real feedback from real projects.
"Nimesh built the GymTaar Flutter app from scratch — gym management, member tracking, trainer scheduling, the works. We had it on the App Store in about 10 weeks. Clean code, zero hand-holding required, and he flagged a database design issue in week two that would've caused us real pain later. Would hire again without hesitation."
Rajin Acharya
Founder, GymTaar (Nepal)
"We needed the BabalCloud platform built fast and built right. Nimesh delivered a Next.js frontend with a Django backend that's been running in production for over a year with no major issues. What stood out was the communication — weekly updates, no surprises, and he pushed back on a couple of feature requests that would've added weeks of scope for no real user benefit."
Anupam Bista
Founder, BabalCloud (Nepal)
"Our Insuretech Nepal website needed to handle a lot of dynamic content and load fast on mobile. Nimesh sorted out the architecture properly from the start — server-side rendering, proper SEO setup, and it scored well on Core Web Vitals on launch day. He works like someone who's done this before, not like someone learning on your project."

Common Inquiries
Yes, I integrate OpenAI's GPT-4 API (along with Claude or Gemini) into applications, typically using a RAG architecture so the AI can answer questions based on your specific company data.
If we are fine-tuning an existing model or using traditional ML (like Random Forests), it can take a few weeks. Training deep neural networks from scratch takes significantly longer.
For custom ML, you need clean, labeled data. If you don't have data, we usually start with an LLM API approach, or build the application to start collecting the necessary data first.
Integrating an existing API (like OpenAI) is very affordable—features start around $1,500. Building custom data pipelines and training bespoke models is more expensive, starting around $4,000.
For custom models, I wrap them in FastAPI and deploy them via Docker to AWS EC2 or DigitalOcean Droplets, ensuring they scale properly under load.
