Hi there!
Thank you for checking out my blog and portfolio! Keeping that flambouyant introduction in the landing page aside, I’m a developer hailing from Bengaluru, India. Some of the things I stand for, and am passionate about are FOSS and access to quality education for everyone.
I am fortunate enough to have been part of some excellent Universities, Colleges and Schools through out my life. Here’s some details about my educational background:
| Program | Institution/Board | %/CGPA | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| M. Sc. (Data Science) | Chanakya University (SoMNS), Bengaluru | 9.5/10 | 2023 - 2025 |
| B. S. (Data Science and Applications) | Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai | 7.64/10 | 2021 - 2025 |
| B. Sc. (Comp. Sci., Math & Stats) | Kristu Jayanti College, Bengaluru | 8.02/10 | 2020 - 2023 |
| Higher Secondary Education | St. Claret PU College, Bengaluru | 79% | 2018 - 2020 |
| Secondary Education | Triveni Public School (CISCE) | 84% | 2017 - 2018 |
I’ve been doing a dual degree since my UG days, with IIT Madras’ B. S. in Data Science and application program. As such, I also tend to be always occupied, either on my passion projects, or on assignment or project deadlines.
I think keeping myself busy, working on either University work or my own personal projects not necessarily limited to Computer Science, gives me a sense of belonging and an incredibly structured and consistent work ethic. It is one of the many things I’ve learnt from doing two degrees at the same time.
I hope to finish my educational journey sometime during mid 2025, graduating with 2 Bachelors and Masters degree.
Outside of work and studies, I’m passionate about music, having played the piano for a significant part of my life. I’m formally trained in Western Classical Music. I also like to learn new things. It helps me keep an open, unbaised and fresh perspective of the world around me. Some of the things I’m learning about right now are:
- Welsh History
- Philosophy (Specifically Nihilism and Absurdism)
- Hindu (and Indian) Knowledge Systems
- Buddist and Christian Teachings
Some of my favourite YouTube Channels are:
This is all I can think of for now. Thank you for reading through this article! I’ll probably update this later with more details :)
