Viraj Sawad

Kathmandu · KEC · 3rd year CS

Background

Hey, I'm Viraj Sawad, a third-year Computer Engineering student at Kantipur Engineering College, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal.

I work at the intersection of LLMs, multi-agent systems, and vision-language models. I'm part of the Fusemachines AI Fellowship (AIF 2026) and the Leapfrog Student Partnership Program (LSPP 5th cohort).

The Curiosity

Somewhere beneath the engineering, I'm genuinely curious about something harder to pin down: whether language models can have something like thought. Not agents calling tools, not chain-of-thought prompting, but actual internal reasoning. I don't have answers yet. That's kind of the point.

Writing Philosophy

I write about what I build, what I break, and what I'm still figuring out. Writing helps me think, so most posts here are honest, technical, and probably still half-wrong when I publish them.

Outside work

When I am not writing code, I try to step away from the keyboard and engage with the physical world. You can usually find me going on runs, reading essays, or cooking and experimenting with new recipes. I also enjoy listening to music, trying new things, and journaling to clear my head and organize my thoughts.
