MECHANICAL ENGINEER — TO SPEC, TO TOLERANCE
Mechanical Engineering student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, exchange alumni of KTH Stockholm. I build things that move — maglev platforms, games in Elm, CI servers, and neural networks from scratch.
I do things that tend to interest me. Do you?
SEC.01 // ABOUT
About
General arrangement — who is operating this site.
I'm Apeel — a Mechanical Engineering student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, recently back from an exchange semester at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Originally from Kathmandu, Nepal.
My work refuses to stay in one lane: I've shipped 2D games in Elm, built a Java CI server from scratch, trained neural networks in raw NumPy, contributed to production open-source projects, and designed analog circuitry for a levitating platform. The common thread is the feedback loop — whether it's a control system holding a magnet in the air or a CI pipeline holding a codebase together.
Off the bench, I've co-founded an education club for underprivileged students, organised a NASA Space Apps hackathon, led a national maths competition with ~1,000 attendees, and served on the Board of Directors of a mathematics NGO. I like shipping things that are actually finished.

B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU)
Pursuing Mechanical Engineering at one of China's top engineering universities. Coursework spans control systems, analog circuits, and design engineering — with hands-on lab projects including a maglev linear motion platform.
STA.02 · JAN 2026 – JUN 2026
Exchange Semester
KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm
Completed a semester abroad focused on software and ML: Machine Learning, Deep Learning in Data Science, Fundamentals of Software Engineering, and Computer Game Design. Contributed to multiple team projects and open-source repositories.
STA.03 · FEB 2025 – PRESENT
IPP Project — Maglev Platform
SJTU, with Prof. Kwee Yan Teh
Designing and building an experimental maglev linear motion platform. Responsibilities include analog circuit design, Arduino-based PWM controller replication, and iterative SOLIDWORKS modelling of mechanical mounts.
STA.04 · JUL 2023 – AUG 2024
Board of Directors
Mathematics Initiatives in Nepal (MIN)
Promoted to the Board after serving as Event Moderator. Established international collaborations, oversaw multiple departments (events, content, graphics, IT), and led the Education To All (ETA) campaign across government schools to reduce rote learning.
STA.05 · JUL 2023 – NOV 2023
Local Lead Organiser
NASA Space Apps Challenge — Bhaktapur, Nepal
Organised the NASA Space Apps Challenge hackathon for Bhaktapur district. Secured NRs 50,000 in sponsorship, coordinated a full 36-hour event with telescope sessions for participants to observe Jupiter and the Moon, and managed all logistics end-to-end.
STA.06 · MAY 2022 – APR 2024
Co-founder & Class Teacher
Partnership in Education (PiE), St. Xavier's College
Co-founded a club for underprivileged students, serving as Grade 10 class teacher and mentor. Guided fellow teachers, helped students prepare for the SEE, and provided academic and mental health support. Recognised as the longest-serving member.
