About

Hello! I am an incoming MS in CS student at Carnegie Mellon. I previously completed by Bachelor in Technology in CS from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. I am passionate about traditional machine learning, deep learning, robotics and associated fields. Driven by this interest, I have gained industrial as well as research experience in these fields. Along with technical capability, I have also acquired significant leadership experience through my tenure with Team Aerial Robotics. I love working in a collaborative environment and am always down to explore problems with no cookie-cutter solutions, such as writing the drivers to automate the antennas for a professor's lab :). Please hit me up if you would like to have a chat about any of the above!
