Currently I'm involved in exploring large language models, and computer vision models for medical imaging. It's a wild ride, and I'm excited to make a positive impact with my research. I invite you to explore my website to learn more about my work, research, and interests. Thank you for visiting!

About Me

I embarked on a thrilling journey into the world of programming during my first year at IEM Kolkata. It didn't take long for me to develop a deep affection for deep learning and NLP. Those neural networks had me captivated from the get-go, like a kid in a candy store with all the possibilities they offered. Now, let's venture into the realm of the backend, the vital core of any robust system. I find myself captivated by the intricate machinery that orchestrates seamless operations. It's like embarking on an exhilarating puzzle-solving journey that I simply can't resist. Delving into the inner workings of databases, APIs, and server architecture provides me with a deep sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.
I am always ready to have new experiences, meet new people and learn new things. My research interests include Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Medical Imaging. So, if you're in need of someone who's passionate about deep learning, NLP, and has a knack for exploring the backend, look no further. I'm here to bring a blend of technical expertise and a dash of humor to help you conquer your tech challenges.
When I'm not immersed in the world of technology, you can find me playing football or listening to music.
