What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can apply my AI/ML skills to solve real-world problems.

I am an aspiring AI/ML engineer currently pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. My academic journey has been marked by a strong commitment to understanding complex data systems and developing innovative solutions. I have a solid foundation in programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript, which I leverage to create impactful projects.

During my internships at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, I designed machine learning models to predict soil moisture patterns, enhancing agricultural research. My work involved advanced hyperparameter optimization and the development of visualizations to communicate research findings effectively. I have also led the creation of a research paper for an international AI conference, showcasing my ability to contribute to the academic community.

My projects, including a patented AI-powered aerial surveillance system and a soil moisture prediction model, reflect my passion for applying AI techniques to real-world challenges. I am eager to bring my skills in machine learning, data analysis, and software development to a dynamic team where I can continue to grow and make a meaningful impact.
