I've been passionate about software development since a young age, transforming my early interest in applications like Amazon, Netflix, and WhatsApp into a flourishing technology career. At the Vellore Institute of Technology, where I graduated with honors in Computer Science and Engineering, I not only excelled academically but also took on the role of Program Representative for the CSE Department.
My academic journey was greatly enhanced by my practical experiences. As a Supply Chain Data Analytics Intern at Ecolab, I employed Python and SAP scripting to optimize operational efficiency, solve complex coding optimization problems, and automate data processes. This role was pivotal in reducing processing times and sharpening my problem-solving skills. Additionally, during my time as a PHP-API Developer Intern at SpacECE India Foundation, I developed innovative APIs that significantly improved user engagement through technological solutions. I also have a strong research background in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, with projects in diverse areas such as Waste Management, Traffic Management, and advancements in the Health and Media sectors, utilizing cutting-edge technologies like Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Explainable AI (XAI).
Currently, as a graduate student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I am pursuing my Master of Science degree in Computer Science. This opportunity is further refining my ability to create secure and user-friendly software and web applications, aligning with my commitment to making the digital space more secure and inclusive. Holding multiple patents, publications, and certifications in AI and ML, I am always on the lookout for collaborative and innovative opportunities. My goal is to significantly contribute to technology projects that prioritize accountability, transparency, and accessibility, harnessing technology for impactful and ethical solutions.
Are you ready to explore new frontiers and create groundbreaking projects? I am eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share my passion for enhancing Technology. Let's exchange ideas and discover exciting possibilities that can drive us towards success. I'm excited to connect and collaborate — let's make magic happen!
