About Myself
Hi,
I am a self-taught programmer who started programming in low-level languages to execute projects around Arduino & Atmel microcontrollers. It was then when I discovered my passion for coding. On my way I had an epiphany that control and perception are challenging things in Artificial Intelligence - this led me to Machine Learning. I have been working on a variety of problems in the areas of Machine Learning. As a passionate Machine Learning Engineer, I like to explore the jungle of data. My survival arsenal contains: Python, Pandas, Numpy, Scipy, Matplotlib and Scikit-learn.
When I am not sitting in front of a computer, I enjoy volunteering at Janwaar Castle where I learn skateboarding from Janwaar kids.

Volunteer
Janwaar Castle
Janwaar Castle is India’s First Rural Skateboarding Park in Janwaar, Madhya Pradesh. I help kids by repairing skateboards, install educational apps in the crowd-funded tablets for interactive learning, supporting them in their needs when they come to a city. And looking forward to contributing to Rural Maker Space.
July 2015 - Current
Software Engineering Intern
Juxt Smart Mandate
Exploratory Data Analysis on client's data, Data visualisation using D3.js and honed skills in Full-Stack Web development.
August 2015 - March 2016
Hardware Designer
OpenEnvironment Team
India Open Data Association (IODA)
IODA's journey started in Kumbhathon 5 with an idea to produce cost-effective & scalable devices which could assess the air quality during Kumbh Mela & make this environmental data open for public use. I contributed by doing Hardware setup and the firmware design of the environment monitoring devices.
June 2015 - November 2015
Student Innovator
MIT Kumbhathon
Kumbhathon is a buildathon conducted by MIT Media Lab, USA to expose the city’s pressing issues and
generate meaningful solutions. I was part of Kumbhathon 4,5,6 where I worked on two projects:
1.
Crowd Management through mobile subscription pings during Kumbh Mela
2. OpenEnvironment Project
Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering
University of Mumbai
With inclination towards Robotics, I used to tinker with Arduino and AVR microcontrollers projects. Soon, I had an epiphany to focus on Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning.
