...who recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Kantipur Engineering College in Nepal.
This is the next segment of our blog series highlighting Microsoft Student Ambassadors who achieved the Gold milestone, the highest level attainable, and have recently graduated from university. Each blog in the series features a different student and highlights their accomplishments, their experience with the Student Ambassador community, and what they are up to now.
How has being part of the Microsoft Student Ambassadors community helped you connect with other tech enthusiasts and expand your global network?
Being part of the Microsoft Student Ambassadors community has been one of the most meaningful turning points in my tech journey. More than anything, it helped me connect with people who genuinely shared the same spirit of curiosity and community-driven learning as mine.
As someone who has always believed in solving student problems through their eyes, the Student Ambassadors community became a place where I could both give and grow. I connected with tech enthusiasts from different parts of the world, people who were building, experimenting, and trying again, just like me. Those conversations, collaborations, and late-night idea exchanges not only expanded my global network but also shaped my mindset as a learner and mentor.
Through organizing awareness sessions, providing free training, collaborating on projects, and volunteering, I got the chance to meet individuals who inspired me to dream bigger. Some became mentors, some became friends, and some became teammates on projects.
The best part is that every connection I made in the Student Ambassadors community felt effortless because it wasn’t just networking, it was shared passion. Being a part of this global family taught me that impact grows when people grow together.
What impact did access to Microsoft tools and resources - like Azure credits, Visual Studio Enterprise, and Copilot - have on your journey as an AI-focused tech leader?
When I first started diving deeper into AI and building projects like my genetic algorithm–based MLP model for URL phishing detection or experimenting with RAG systems, the biggest challenge was always the computational cost and scalability. Azure credits helped me overcome that barrier completely. Instead of worrying about infrastructure or limitations, I could focus fully on exploring, experimenting, and pushing boundaries. Azure allowed me to test complex models, deploy them, and see real-world performance, all while learning how cloud-scale AI systems operate.
Visual Studio Enterprise was equally impactful. The debugging tools, architecture guidance, and enterprise-level features made my development workflow smoother and more professional. As someone who believes in understanding errors deeply (yes, print() debugging forever!), having an environment that supported clean engineering practices helped me level up my skills and think like a real software engineer not just a student.
And Copilot… honestly, Copilot became like a quiet partner. It didn’t just help me write code; it supported my thinking process. Whether I was building APIs, structuring front-end responses in React, or experimenting with Python scripts for ML, Copilot made ideation faster, coding smoother, and learning more efficiently. It especially helped when I was juggling multiple skills like learning SQL and Python together while still working on research and side projects.
So, these Microsoft tools didn’t just support my journey: they accelerated it. They allowed me to work on projects I once thought were too big, too complex, or too resource heavy. They made my transition from a learner to an AI-focused tech leader feel natural and achievable, empowering me to create impact not only for myself but also for the communities and students I support.
In what ways has the Student Ambassadors program strengthened your resume, boosted your confidence, or helped you develop AI-ready skills for your future career?
The Microsoft Student Ambassadors program has strengthened my resume, boosted my confidence, and equipped me with AI-ready skills in ways that truly transformed my journey. Through Student Ambassadors, I gained real leadership experience by conducting awareness sessions, giving free training to students, and working on impactful community projects, turning my resume into a reflection of meaningful contribution rather than just technical achievements.
Being surrounded by global learners and innovators helped me grow more confident in expressing ideas, presenting in public, and taking on responsibilities that once felt intimidating. Most importantly, the program gave me access to industry-level tools like Azure, Visual Studio Enterprise, and Copilot, which allowed me to build and experiment with advanced AI systems from deploying machine learning models to working on a genetic-algorithm-powered MLP and exploring RAG architectures.
These hands-on experiences not only sharpened my technical capabilities but also taught me how to think and operate like an AI engineer, preparing me for the career path I’m building toward.
