Miscellaneous

I sometimes do a reading challenge on Goodreads. If you want to chat about books, poetry and ML research feel free to reach out! I sometimes also write on Medium/Substack.

Had a paper accepted at one of the NeurIPS workshops on Graph Representation Learning. Unfortunately, getting a visa for Canada was a nightmare. Gave an interview on the challenges faced by researchers from developing countries in accessing prestigious conferences.

Co-founded Silicon14 (Tweak Labs) Inc. during my second year of undergraduate studies, where I served as CTO. We developed novel hardware augmentations for enabling rapid prototyping of embedded systems/IoT projects, creating a new line of micro-controller development boards.

Contemplated starting a video analytics company after developing a video summarization algorithm during a course called Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). Named it Synoptycs (also considered bonsAI). Pitched to investors but realized the technology was already well-established and the market was too crowded. Now it exists as an obscure demo video in the vast abyss of Internet debris.
