I am a sophomore at BITS Pilani pursuing B.E.(Hons) in Computer Science. I am fascinated by technology and have a keen interest in building applications. My journey in computer science started with a C++ elective in school, which introduced me to programming. Over the summer, prior to my freshmen year, I learned Django. Since then, I have built various applications which have been used by over 10000 people. I have written REST-APIs using the Django Rest Framework. I also have experience in server-hosting using Nginx and Gunicorn and building asynchronous applications using Django Channels. In my second semester, I got interested in Machine Learning. I have completed a few basic courses. I enjoy reading about the applications of Machine Learning. Right now, I am exploring the field of deep learning with a focus on semantic segmentation. I have worked on multiple team-projects, and on the way picked up important skills like team-coordination and communication. I had collaborated on building an e-Wallet which was used for transactions worth $28,000 in just four days and 6000 QR code scans. I enjoy analyzing situations, looking at things with different perspectives and having long thoughtful conversations with friends. Currently, I am taking courses in Modern History and Sociology, that are helping me sharpen my critical thinking powers. My aim is to be able to fully understand the problems different groups are facing in the world and come up with solutions to help them. Page 1 of 3
