Software Engineer · Microsoft Security
Security, Data Governance, and Data Loss Protection.
Hey, I’m Sam.
I build secure, impactful technology—and make room for art, community, and the people it serves.
I’m a software engineer at Microsoft Security, working on governance, data protection, and more. I’m from Nepal and moved to the U.S. at 17.
My research background is in secure AI innovation—including detecting attacks on power grids and research on reproducible scientific workflows with IRIS-HEP at CERN.
On the side, I draw, dance, create content, and care about health-tech and differently abled individuals.
