I'm Manish,
a builder from Nepal.

What I do

I write code for things I wish existed. Right now that's ClassRec — a live lecture transcription tool built so students can actually listen during class instead of racing to copy every word.

Before that, MBGPT — an AI comment assistant that learns a creator's voice using RAG and fine-tuning on their real comment history. These are both personal itch-scratches that became real projects.

I'm interested in the intersection of AI and everyday utility — software that works quietly in the background and makes people more capable without demanding attention.

Background

I grew up in Nepal and came to New York for university. That distance gave me a specific perspective on technology — not as something assumed, but as something built intentionally and toward a purpose.

Outside of code, I read a lot. I think about language, communication, and how ideas spread. This blog is where I work through things I'm learning — about software, building, and the rest of it.
