Aspiring data scientist with expertise in machine learning and programming.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and passionate individual pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in programming languages such as C/C++ and Python, alongside a keen interest in machine learning and data analysis. I have consistently sought opportunities to apply my skills in real-world scenarios, which has led to significant achievements in my internships and projects.
In my recent role as a Prompt Engineer at OUTLIER, I successfully programmed an innovative AI model to solve complex graduate-level math problems, resulting in a 15% increase in user completion rates. My internship at FUTURES FIRST allowed me to delve into quantitative finance, where I analyzed central bank policies and conducted rigorous statistical analyses that improved forecasting accuracy for investment strategies. I am particularly proud of my projects, including developing a predictive model for Yelp reviews using NLP techniques and creating a pipeline for panoramic image creation.
