CS Sophomore | ML Enthusiast

I am a rising sophomore at Ashoka University, studying Computer Science and Economics. I spent the summer exploring ML and Deep Learning and I loved it. Lately, I've also been honing my development skills. I've been coding competitively since High School.

    Interests

    Apart from doing CS-y stuff, I'm also a competent oil-painter. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember and I also hold a diploma in Fine Arts. I've been an active quizzer and debator throughout middle and high school. On the track, I used to be a part of my school's 4x100m relay team. I have also played archery at the State-Level.

    I think Phuchka is a genius invention and Hyderabadi Biriyani is an abomination.
