Pushkal Shukla — Software Engineer
I completed my undergraduate degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra, during which I worked on FPGA-based accelerators for CNNs at IIT Guwahati, implementing a feed-forward neural network optimized with stochastic gradient descent. As an undergraduate research fellow, I built foundational ML algorithms from scratch, solidifying my understanding of core machine learning principles. My work extends into computer vision and deep learning, with projects including real-time hand gesture recognition for PC volume control, face recognition modules, vehicle classification, and autonomous lane detection. I also developed a recommendation engine for Exam Lounge, an IIT Kanpur-based ed-tech startup, to support student performance enhancement. At IIT Delhi’s Convin.ai, I contributed to an ASR model using wav2Vec 2.0 and Hugging Face transformers, incorporating cross-lingual fine-tuning with Facebook AI’s XLSR model and generating Q&A pairs via Roberta.
