The work of Himanshu Bharti
I’m Himanshu Bharti, a BCSIT undergraduate at Boston International College. I build data and AI products, present research, license and run TEDxBIC, and shoot street photography under the name PORCUPINEEE. This page is the evidence — projects, papers, events and experience.
How I work
No “About” page here. You’ll understand me faster through the pattern of what I actually do — build things, think in research, create with a camera, and organise people around events.
— the design philosophy behind PORCUPINEEE, in my own project brief
I’m a final-phase undergraduate who works across three worlds that usually stay separate: technology (data science, ML and full-stack builds), research & policy (a national-conference paper and a published climate-finance white paper), and programme leadership (TEDx licensee, hackathon organiser, MUN and Rotaract roles).
For collaborators and employers, that mix is the point: I can analyse the data, build the product, write the paper, and run the room it gets presented in. I’m especially interested in business development, product and SaaS — where research turns into something people actually use.
01 — Build
Product builds and data work, led by the four I’d put in front of any employer or client first. Filter by the kind of work you care about.
A local-first platform documenting heritage sites, cultural events and writing, with an artisan marketplace — built to preserve and promote local heritage digitally.
React + Vite · Django · Django REST Framework
Designing the platform end-to-end: heritage listings, events and blogs alongside a marketplace for artisans — a product problem (how local culture gets discovered) solved with a full-stack build.
A virtual receptionist for dental clinics that books, confirms and manages appointments over WhatsApp — with multilingual natural-language understanding and a staff schedule assistant.
Django · Meta WhatsApp Cloud API · LLM via OpenRouter · Rule-based fallback flows
Built in phases: core booking flows, then LLM-based understanding with FAQ retrieval, an authenticated staff assistant that previews schedule changes before confirming them, and a live WhatsApp webhook — covered by an automated test suite that grew to 190 tests.
Built and compared two classification approaches for diabetes prediction — an artificial neural network and logistic regression — with proper preprocessing and model evaluation.
Python · scikit-learn · TensorFlow · Data preprocessing & evaluation
A head-to-head modelling exercise: clean and prepare the dataset, train both models, and evaluate predictive approaches on equal footing rather than assuming the neural network wins.
Cleaning, exploratory analysis and visualisation of health datasets in Python — turning messy records into analytical insights that can be read at a glance.
Python · Pandas · NumPy · Matplotlib
Full EDA workflow: data cleaning, exploration and visualisation across diabetes and heart-rate data — the same toolkit behind my business sales analytics work on simulated real-world sales scenarios.
A platform to help students discover student events, buy tickets and register.
A student book-sharing and exchange platform — borrow and pass books on instead of buying new.
A hackathon build focused on tracking personal expenditure, simply and quickly.
Synthetic sales data designed to simulate real-world business scenarios, then cleaned, explored and visualised in Python.
02 — Think · Research
Two research threads: how AI changes entrepreneurial decisions, and how climate finance actually reaches Nepal. Both done with real cohorts, real venues, real output.
Presented · National Conference · June 2026
A thematic review — synthesising roughly 70–85 papers — on how AI and data analytics strengthen entrepreneurial decision-making, capability and business development among university students in Nepal. Presented at MUSOM’s National Conference on Promotion of Entrepreneurship and Tourism through Indigenous Knowledge, Products and Practices, Mid-West University, Surkhet (26–27 June 2026). Now being developed into a full paper.
Research lead in a Biruwa think-tank cohort examining climate-financing mechanisms, institutional frameworks and Nepal’s access to international climate finance. I distributed tasks, coordinated the research process and directed the final analytical write-up and design — delivered as a published analytical white paper.
03 — Organise
Leadership measured in delivered events: a licensed TEDx, award-winning hackathon teams, and years of MUN and youth-programme organising in Chitwan.
Flagship · TEDx Licensee
Licensed and led TEDxBIC at Boston International College — curated six speakers, ran the organising team end-to-end, and completed the final reporting. Talks published on YouTube.
Hackathons · Best UI/UX × 2 · 2025
Medal-winning team finish at the Lumbini ICT College Hackathon — and Best UI/UX recognition at two 2025 hackathons, including Nepathon. Design that judges could use, not just look at.
Diplomacy · MUN
Honorary Mention — National Youth Council MUN 2024, representing France in the UN Security Council. Committee leadership and organiser roles with Himalaya MUN, plus organising two school-level MUNs with Youth Thinkers Society, Chitwan (2023–2025).
Service · Rotaract
Club Admin Chair (2024/25), formerly Editor — administration, documentation and communications for a youth service club in Narayangarh.
Documentation and reporting for Boston International College’s hackathon.
Event planning and coordination, including a +2 inter-school debate; also anchored Boston Fiesta and the BIC Project Exhibition.
Three months creating video content for the college’s social channels during admissions.
Technical and production coordination, videography and photography for an international research-paper conference.
04 — Experience
Education, work and recognition — curated to what matters, nothing padded.
Pursuing Bachelor of Computer Science & IT (Pokhara University), Chitwan. Expected completion September 2027. Coursework across DBMS, Python & data analytics, web technologies and research methods.
Presented the AI & entrepreneurial decision-making thematic review at Mid-West University, Surkhet; developing it into a full paper.
Six speakers curated and delivered at Boston International College; final reporting completed, talks on YouTube.
Best UI/UX at the Lumbini ICT College Hackathon and Nepathon (2025), with a medal-winning team finish at Lumbini ICT.
Co-authored and published an analytical white paper on climate-financing mechanisms and access in Nepal.
Video content for institutional social channels through the admissions season.
Represented France in the UN Security Council, April 2024.
Administration and communications; previously the club’s Editor.
Schooling across Nepal and India before returning to Chitwan for the BCSIT.
Languages: English, Hindi and Nepali (fluent) · learning French and Japanese.
