About Me
Welcome to my personal website, which highlights some of my research and development projects as well as my personal hobbies.
In Computer Science Domain, My broad area of interest lies in the fields of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing and their far reaching applications in Healthcare, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning and their intersections
In terms of development, I'm interested in developing both front-end and back-end code in order to construct full-stack user apps.
I am currently pursuing my Masters degree in Computer Science at Texas A&M University, College Station. I worked as a Site Reliability Intern in Linkedin for Summer 2023 where I handled Real Time Automation with SQL Database to solve Conflict Resolutions across Data Centres. Before beginning my graduate studies, I was employed as a Senior Engineer at Senior Enginner for Western Digital, Bangalore where my responsibilties are driving FW Modules from design to development and integration stages for new Memory Technologies.
Prior to this, I obtained a Bachelor's in a Computer Science degree with Honors in Machine Learning and Data Analysis from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology. During my Undergrad, Focussed on Machine Learning, Artifical Intelligence and got Skilled in Java, Android Development, Python, Data Analysis, and R. Love to solve challenges and always eager to learn something new be it online courses or life necessities like cooking

Work Experience
Summer 2023 Intern
May 2023 - Present
Working as a Summer Intern at LinkedIn where I am handling Real Time Automation with SQL Database to solve Conflict Resolutions. For the most part, the MySQL team does not have any awareness of several incidents of data divergence due to bugs unless reported by our users. Hence designed a automation framework to detect and report such discrepancies.
