Once upon a time, in the world of wires and widgets, I embarked on a quest to make life a tad more convenient. I love automation; from programming my devices to chirp when their batteries reach full charge (Shortcut here), to orchestrating Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to tackle more complex challenges;

          I. Automate. Everything.
        

My Journey

One day, armed with code and a vision, I entered my very first hackathon. The challenge? Craft a solution that wowed. And wow, it did! My web scraping project not only snagged the Best Performance Award but also unlocked a new chapter in my journey.

That hackathon victory was a beacon, leading me to my first opportunity at Riskpro. The world of software development became my canvas, where I painted with pixels and forged applications that made life a bit more seamless.

I then worked at TechSquare for as a Software Developer working on frontend, full stack, and IoT. The experience gained during my first internship helped me land my next venture at Gladius Ventures (now BoomPanda) as a Data Researcher where I worked on Data Curation, NLP and Machine Learning.

Curently...

During my Bachelors in Computer Science, I worked on web development, mobile app development, and building desktop applications. Yet, it was in the realm of machine learning and deep learning that I found my true calling. The dance with data, the symphony of algorithms, and the thrill of teaching machines to think - it was like painting with a palette of ones and zeros. This led me to pursue my Master's in Artificial Intelligence and brought me to Boston!

I am now volunteering at Changing The Present as a Data Scientist.

An Adventurous Polyglot

Beyond bits and bytes, my love for language flourishes. I am fluent in three tongues (Hindi, Marathi and English) and have eagerly embraced a fourth (Japanese). But why stop there? I plan to learn Braille and sign language too, promising new worlds of communication.

From here

Now, I stand at a crossroads, ready for the next adventure. Eager to infuse creativity, expertise, and a dash of unconventional thinking into a team that, like me, believes in pushing boundaries and redefining what's possible. So, let's connect and see where the conversation leads to!
