I'm Gagan Pradhan — Robotics R&D Engineer, AWS Community Builder 2026, and STEAM Educator from Kathmandu 🇳🇵. BEI graduate, Himalaya College of Engineering, Tribhuvan University.
My stack runs from atoms to cloud: I flash firmware onto ESP32 microcontrollers, wire sensors to Firebase backends, run fully offline AI voice assistants on a Raspberry Pi 5, architect on AWS (SAA-C03 & AI Practitioner certified), and ship production SaaS like draftmy.cv. Previously worked as Junior QA Engineer.
Beyond code: I led the Himalaya Robotics Club as President (19 members), organized CodeYatra 2025 hackathon & HEX 2023 engineering exhibition, and an active member building tech communities in Nepal. Yantra 1st Runner Up 🏆 · Hult Prize semi-finalist 🏆. Writing on Medium.
AI-powered CV and resume drafting platform — create polished, professional resumes in minutes. Built and shipped as a full-stack SaaS product from concept to production.
A fully offline voice chat pipeline on a Raspberry Pi 5 — speech transcribed locally with Whisper.cpp, answered by Llama 3.2 via Ollama, spoken back with Piper TTS. Zero cloud. Zero API keys. The whole stack fits in your palm.
Digital voting system on ESP hardware with a Firebase backend — authentication, live voting interface, and an admin dashboard for managing votes and voter counts.
Automated end-to-end tests for an e-commerce flow — registration, product filtering, cart, checkout — built on the Page Object Model with reusable custom commands and faker-generated test data.
Computer-vision shopping cart prototype in Python — camera input plus barcode scanning for automated product recognition and checkout.
Practice exam web app for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification — built while earning the cert myself. It worked.
