Hello there ! Welcome to my page 😁

I am currently a Masters Student at the University of Maryland, College Park. I believe code/tech to be a form of creative expression, crafting solutions that solve real world problems of both mine and yours : ) Constantly trying to get better at my art and aim to leave behind a few masterpieces and help a few in creating their own masterpieces.

I have always been curious about how our brain learns and adapts. This curiosity drives my interests in reinforcement learning, evolutionary algorithms and AI as a whole. Ever now and then, I try to explore different ways to make AI more efficient, effective and explainable. More recently I have developed an interest towards Data driven decision making and building Data driven models.

In my spare time, i enjoy playing sports (mostly squash and pickleball), explore hiking trails and occasional binge on some nice anime or play some board games (huge catan fan).

I am always on the lookout for opportunities to collaborate and work on interesting projects that can have a positive impact on the world. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or just want to say hi!
