My name is Safal. Nice to meet you.
Just introducing myself and my blog.
Hi, I'm Safal
I was born in 2000 in Bhaktapur, Nepal. As a kid I loved watching movies and building my own little toys from whatever I could find around the house. I still do both of those things actually, lol.
After a lot of schools, high school and college, and internships and full-time jobs, I ended up as a software engineer working in Japan somehow. I love it here, especially the reliability of the systems and the convenience. I don't know if it's true, but I think as a programmer, you just admire these things more than others. A bugless system is the right kind of system.

How's life lately?
Everyday starts with a Coffee. Life is boring without it...
Checking another crazy AI news has become my ritual. Today's top crazy AI news has to be Google DeepMind's "AlphaProof Nexus" system reportedly solving crazy math problems I don't understand (something about Erdos math problems?).
I have built myself a rigid rule of building something every day, with the help of AI agents everyday. So far, I have built several smart home systems, countless prototypes of a languague translation apps to help me perform better at Japanese workplace, a daily work report document generator (don't tell my boss ;)), daily calorie tracker, a full Office of AI Agents, etc.
Recently, I made this app for Raspberry Pi that uses CAN bus to send running commands to a cutting motor of a lawn mower at my work. Instead of testing the motor's telemetry using a specialized hardware, we were able to test by simply connecting the raspberry pi directly to the motor's CAN bus port and test just the motor. This is saving my coworkers hours of time every week and I love it. The fun part about the project is that I built it in hours, using my Agentic Workflow. Hours of going through each and every line of CAN bus documentation (and believe me, it's a lot) to understand the pinouts and the CAN bus protocols, writing the python code to communicate with the motor and testing it all out. A human would probably take weeks to build this, but with AI Agents, it was a breeze.
I have been learning to play the guitar lately and it's been a lot of fun. I have also been trying to learn Japanese in a more serious way (of course using AI chatbots), and I can already hold a basic conversation. I am hoping to be fluent in Japanese in a few years.
Sad part is I am still mostly broke. Too many responsibilities at home, too many subscriptions, a lot of Uber Eats, and I don't know, rent...
