Namaste!

My academic foundation began at Swami Rama Himalayan University, where I earned a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering. This diverse curriculum included programming (including Python), data structures, algorithms, and even Yoga for holistic health. The concept of using technology to improve well-being sparked a curiosity and questions about the potential of technology.

The world faced a harsh reality during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it deeply impacted my understanding of the value of life and health. Witnessing this struggle fueled my desire to use technology to improve health and well-being. In a college hackathon, I built a website providing clear and accessible COVID-19 guidelines under 24 hours. This was before chatGPT was a thing. The experience left a lasting impression, I not only won the 1st prize but it igniting a passion to help people live long, healthy, and happy lives. Later, I enrolled in a course on Python for Data Science in the same year. Little did I know, this decision would unknowingly set me on a path towards the exciting world of Machine Learning!

My passion for technology took a specific turn when I discovered the exciting world of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). I enrolled in the renowned Andrew Ng course on Machine Learning, and learned fundamentals which would be useful for a lifetime. This program not only deepened my understanding of ML fundamentals but also introduced me to the vibrant open-source community.

However, my personal journey with technology took a more personal turn when I encountered struggles with insomnia. Yoga, which I had previously experienced, offered great relief with my fitness band AI tracking. Intrigued by the potential of AI to further monitor and enhance sleep patterns, I authored an article "Sleep Pattern Enhancement using AI & Yoga." This experience opened my eyes to the vast potential of AI/ML in healthcare and fitness.

A field I remain deeply committed to exploring. For further story, stay tuned!
