@viveksandu
Aspiring data scientist with a strong foundation in machine learning.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and passionate aspiring data scientist currently pursuing an Integrated BS-MS at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. With a solid academic background and a CGPA of 7.81, I have honed my skills in programming, machine learning, and data analytics through various projects and internships. My recent research internship at MITACS GRI allowed me to develop machine learning pipelines to study conformational changes in tRNA, showcasing my ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges.
Throughout my academic journey, I have successfully completed projects that demonstrate my proficiency in predictive modeling and AI-driven solutions. Notably, I designed a model for RNase A inhibitors that improved accuracy by 30% and developed an AI-driven medical chatbot capable of answering health-related queries. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my achievement of 1st place in a competition for brain MRI tumor detection, where I engineered a ResUNet model that achieved impressive accuracy and precision.
As I look to the future, I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic environment that values innovation and collaboration. I am particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to contribute to impactful projects in data science and machine learning, where I can continue to grow and make a meaningful difference.
