About

I am super passionate about solving interesting problems, empowering people, and driving change. If you’re looking to bounce off ideas or are just looking for advice especially around technical problems, I’d be more than happy to function as a sounding board. I am sure there is something we both can learn from each other. As an undergrad student at IIT(BHU), Varanasi. I was keenly interested in data structures and algorithms. I regularly took part in competitive programming events online. I also delved into research and study in fields of Machine Learning, Number theory, Game theory and NLP.

Analysis of event-logs to provide meaningful information about the learning behavior of students to provide personalized instruction.
The data was in the form of Junk logs. These were parsed and the results were put into H.D.F.S through Sqoop.
This data was then queried using spark(PySpark) and the results were stored back into H.D.F.S for future use
Retrieved the Result Data through Sqoop and performed basic Queries to answer questions like “Most viewed Comments, “The unanswered questions of the course”, “Number of Questions and Discussions in the course” etc. These results were then graphically plotted using R.
