SUBEDI
MECHANICAL ENGINEER IN TRAINING
Mechanical Engineering student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I like building things that move. Lately that's been a maglev platform, a tracked vehicle called Murphy's Tank, games in Elm, a CI server and neural networks from scratch.
I do things that tend to interest me. Do you?
SEC.01 // ABOUT
About
General arrangement: a bit about who runs this site.
I'm Apeel, a Mechanical Engineering student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I'm originally from Kathmandu, Nepal.
I've worked on a pretty wide mix of things. I've made 2D games in Elm, built a CI server in Java, trained neural networks in plain NumPy, contributed to open-source projects and designed analog circuits for a levitating platform. A lot of it comes back to feedback loops, whether that's a controller keeping a magnet in the air or CI keeping a codebase from breaking.
Outside of engineering, I am an open-hearted volunteer, who loves helping others. Maybe it's about time, that we should get into touch. Whatchu think?

Experience
Stations on the line so far: school, research and the leadership work in between.
STA.01 · SEP 2024 - PRESENT
B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU)
Studying Mechanical Engineering at SJTU. My coursework covers control systems, analog circuits and design engineering, plus hands-on lab projects like the maglev linear motion platform.
STA.02 · JAN 2026 - JUN 2026
Exchange Semester
KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm
A semester abroad focused on software and ML. I took Machine Learning, Deep Learning in Data Science, Fundamentals of Software Engineering and Computer Game Design, and worked on several team projects and open-source repositories.
STA.03 · SEP 2026 - PRESENT
Teaching Assistant, ENGR1000J Introduction to Engineering
Global College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Went from building the maglev platform to helping others build it. I'm on the teaching team for the first-year design-build-test course, where 15 student teams each build their own magnetic levitation system. I support them through the circuits, control and mechanical design, and give feedback on their pitches, reports and presentations.
STA.04 · FEB 2025 - PRESENT
IPP Project: Maglev Platform
SJTU, with Prof. Kwee Yan Teh
Designing and building an experimental maglev linear motion platform. I work on the analog circuits, recreated a PWM controller chip on an Arduino, and keep iterating on the mechanical mounts in SOLIDWORKS.
STA.05 · JUL 2023 - AUG 2024
Board of Directors
Mathematics Initiatives in Nepal (MIN)
Started as an Event Moderator and was later promoted to the Board. I set up international collaborations, oversaw the events, content, graphics and IT teams, and led the Education To All (ETA) campaign in government schools to cut down on rote learning.
STA.06 · JUL 2023 - NOV 2023
Local Lead Organiser
NASA Space Apps Challenge, Bhaktapur, Nepal
Organised the NASA Space Apps Challenge hackathon for Bhaktapur district. I raised NRs 50,000 in sponsorship, ran the 36-hour event (including telescope sessions where participants looked at Jupiter and the Moon) and handled all the logistics.
STA.07 · MAY 2022 - APR 2024
Co-founder & Class Teacher
Partnership in Education (PiE), St. Xavier's College
Co-founded a club for underprivileged students and taught and mentored the Grade 10 class. I guided fellow teachers, helped students prepare for the SEE and supported them with both academics and mental health. I was recognised as the longest-serving member.
