About Me
I am a student, researcher, whimsical developer, and a moody writer. Currently pursuing my B.Tech in Electronics and Electronics Engineering from National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal.
Over the years I have dabbled in a lot of stuff spanning multiple domains, and then decided for myself that research and technology is where my heart lies. Now I have completely pivoted to the field of AI research and software development.
My primary goal is to delve deep into the theoretical foundations of AI and power-efficient hardware architectures.
My interests span across machine learning, mathematics, astrophysics, literature - poetry and prose, anime/manga/manhwa. I thoroughly enjoy an insightful conversation on any topic... be it on the narrative depth of Attack on Titan or on the philosophical underpinnings of the universe.
