    My Hobbies and Interests

    When I’m not coding or working on tech projects, I love staying active through sports. Cycling is one of my favorite ways to unwind and explore the outdoors. There’s something incredibly refreshing about hitting the road on a bike—whether it’s a quick ride around the neighborhood or a longer weekend trail. It helps me clear my mind and often gives me fresh perspectives on problems I’m working on.

    I also enjoy playing tennis, which combines physical activity with strategic thinking. The fast-paced nature of the game keeps me sharp and focused, and it’s a great way to challenge myself while having fun. I appreciate how tennis requires both mental and physical agility, qualities that translate well into my professional work in technology.

    Beyond sports, I’m passionate about continuous learning. I spend time exploring new programming languages, reading technical documentation, and contributing to open-source projects. Hackathons have become more than just competitions for me—they’re opportunities to meet like-minded people, learn new skills, and push creative boundaries. Balancing my technical interests with physical activities helps me maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay motivated in all areas of my life.

  • My Career

    My Career Journey

    I completed my bachelor’s degree in a Information Technology specializing in Data Analytics from MIT ADT University, Pune, which laid the foundation for my passion in technology and software development. During my undergraduate years, I discovered my interest in programming and problem-solving, which naturally led me to pursue advanced studies in data science and artificial intelligence.

     I have one year tech experience working with EQUATIONS WORK AI Pvt. Ltd., where I apply my skills in machine learning and software development to real-world projects. My experience spans several exciting areas including web development, AI implementation, and cloud technologies.

    One of my latest achievements was winning 1st Place for Best Implementation at the HackSU Seattle University’s Hackathon competition, where I collaborated with teammates to create an innovative solution under time constraints. This experience reinforced my love for competitive coding and hackathons.

    My technical toolkit includes Python, R, JavaScript, and various frameworks for web development and data analysis. I’m particularly interested in large language models, API integration, and cloud-based AI solutions. As I continue my graduate studies, I’m excited to explore emerging technologies and contribute to innovative projects that make a meaningful impact.
