I'm a passionate ~~developer~~ **_innovator_** \u0026 a recent grad, with a major in [*ECE*](https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Electronics_and_Communication_Engineering\u0026redirect=no) \u0026 a minor in [*CS*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science), striving to build [_SOTA_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_art) solutions for challenging problems via intersecting Web \u0026 Machine Learning to create amazing stuff that brings positive change in human lives. I love tinkering with electronics, while I primarily work on applied Machine Learning (majorly Computer Vision), Backend (WebDev) \u0026 DevOps(Integrations, Microservices \u0026 Deployment). 🛠️\n\nI'm deeply passionate about Web, OSS and tech in general. Moreover, I'm also into System Designing and Reverse Engineering. I define myself as an independent [RSE](https://ukrse.github.io/who.html) as well as a competitive hackathon aficionado, with more than [**50+ wins** 🏆](https://bit.ly/3nuM2Lz). Besides, I'm a _Competitive Speedcuber_, _Netflix nerd_ \u0026 _EDM fanatic_. Whether that be through creating neural networks or building web applications, all my work is focused on one thing: **impact** 📈. When I'm not coding, you can find me [sketching](https://urlx.vercel.app/ed-sheeran), doing CP, or playing soccer! The love for new skills and desire to create something which can directly influence people, keeps me interested. 🚀\n\u003cimg align='right'

I've struggled psychologically, and I had to sacrifice a lot of things in the same process, be it living or non-living, but it's the good memories that stayed with me and propelled me forward. Sometimes, I get lost in the mess, but then I prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Like a lot of people, I'm not sure what the future holds for me. Regardless of what I do, I'll do it to the best of my ability, in order to perform my duty to impart a net good onto the human race! 😃\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cbr/\u003e\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e ⚪ Journey \u0026 a few Easter Egg's 🥚 \u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48355572/234978665-08b7d16e-dace-479a-a061-478972c43f6b.gif\" width=\"14px\" height=\"14px\"\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e \n\u003cp\u003e\n\n- Achieved a remarkable Top-10 position in the prestigious SAP Semicolon Hackathon 3.0, held in Bangalore in 2019 🏆\n- Regional Top-10 in [**Build for Digital India** (BFDI), 2020](https://events.withgoogle.com/buildfordigitalindia), hosted by [**MeitY**](https://www.meity.gov.in/) and [**Google**](http://google.com) among **51/4756** teams across India!\n- Runner-up of [*TCO19*](https://tco19.topcoder.com/regional-events/india) and [*TCO22*](https://tco19.topcoder.com/regional-events/india) (Topcoder Open) Regionals, India. 🎉\n- Scored a prestigious ticket to the Oxford Machine Learning Summer School, [**OxML 2020**](https://www.oxfordml.school/oxml2020) (Computer Vision Track), hosted by [**University of Oxford**](https://www.ox.ac.uk) among 2000+ applicants across the globe!  \n- Became the *maintainer* of the [**_Service Mesh Performance_**](https://smp-spec.io) under [Layer5](https://layer5.io), Inc. 🧑🏻‍🔬\n- Top [**0.1%**](https://googlecloud.qwiklabs.com/public_profiles/606327e8-06a5-46e8-8259-7e50fd55bb69) among all GCP labs practitioners, APAC.\n- HoyaHacks's Instagram page gave a [*shoutout*](https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17858159024451121) to our project [**KrishAI**](https://devpost.com/software/krishai-htkagf) for becoming the **Best Overall** among more than 500 participants at [*Hoya Hacks 2021*](https://hoya-hacks-2021.devpost.com) hosted by Georgetown University! 🏆\n- [**Solace**](https://solace.com) published our hackathon project — [**Ambuplus**](https://devpost.com/software/ambuplus) for [**uOttaHack'21**](https://uottahack-4.devpost.com) on their [Blog](https://solace.com/blog/uottahack-challenge-real-time-ambulance-tracking) page!\n- Project [**Adoptic**](https://devpost.com/software/adoptic) got highlighted on the [**PennState**](https://news.engr.psu.edu/2021/hackpsu-winners.aspx#:~:text=and%20others%20as%20far%20as%20West%20Bengal%2C%20India) engineering blog!\n- Selected for **Nittany AI** Challenge 2021 (invited by [Brad Zdenek](https://nittanyai.psu.edu/about-us/meet-our-staff/brad-zdenek)), hosted by [**PennState**](https://www.psu.edu) among 1000+ teams across the globe!\n- Scored **#167th** rank (Global) in [Quora Programming Challenge](https://challenge2021.quora.com) 2021! 🏆\n- One of the fortunate 25 UG students (globally) who secured a ticket to the 11th Lisbon Machine Learning Summer School, [**LxMLS 2021**](http://lxmls.it.pt/2021) (Virtual)\n- Selected for **CIFAR Deep Learning Reinforcement Learning** Summer School, 2021\n- Scored an opportunity to be a part of the Machine Learning Summer School (MLSS) in Taipei 2021, an initiative collaboratively held by [NTU](https://www.ntu.edu.sg) and [ACLCLP](https://www.aclclp.org.tw).\n- We proudly clinched the **Runner-Up** position in the prestigious [**CERN Openlab Webfest**](https://webfest-online.web.cern.ch), 2021.
