New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Submission

This is a submission for the New Year, New You Portfolio Challenge Presented by Google AI

About Me

I'm a passionate Software engineer and Machine Learning enthusiast. Currently working as an SWE at Arrcus Networks. I have previously worked at Zoho, Audio ML side of things, and as a Software Developer Intern at naas.ai

With a strong foundation in data science, networking, and full-stack development, I enjoy building intelligent systems and scalable web applications. I'm a lifelong learner who believes in practical implementation through building projects and participating in hackathons.

In my free time, I contribute to open-source projects, write technical blogs, and explore deep learning and web development. I'm currently learning German and love playing football whenever I get the chance.

What Next?

  • Improve the accessibility since the website would be viewed for a few seconds and a maximum of a minute. So, providing most of the user's time is important.
  • Need some more thought process to make the landing page still close to what I do.
  • Integrate my demo videos and photos of hackathons as reels/shorts.
  • Last but not least, keep doing more to add more content to the site.
