I'm currently a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin doing a BS in Statistics and Data Sciences. I have a keen interest in the world of artificial intelligence, in specific the realm of machine learning. I also enjoy general coding projects in Python, Java, and web development. Choosing data sciences as my major and field of interest is derived from my projects done on creating machine learning models to predict chess player playing style, comparing neural network optimizer accuracy and loss, and analyzing accident patterns in NYC traffic accident data. I also have a general passion for software development working on projects like a Python programmed chess course.Apart from my keen interest in software development and AI, I also have a passion for mental health, I worked on Project Ridere which was a mental health project impacting 450+ families in and around Bangalore. I also love to play chess, I am a 1758 classical FIDE rated chess player too.
