HackerRank
I am currently working here, as a full-stack developer. It's a lot of fun, and I've learned to use Ruby-on-Rails, Backbone.js, Coffeescript, and various database technologies.
SPO
The Students' Placement Office, at IIT Kanpur was where I spent the entire academic year of 2014-15, dealing with companies, students, and the Institute administration. I ended up supervising a team of over 100 people, and succeeded in getting more than 300 companies to visit IIT Kanpur to hire its students.
IIT Kanpur
I have two degrees from IIT Kanpur: An M.Sc. in Physics, and an M.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering. I've spent 8 of the best years of my life on this campus.
Durham University
One of my most interesting projects was at Durham University (Durham, UK). It was under Dr. Patrice Carbonneau in the Department of Geography, and it involved building a MATLAB tool to convert satellite images of rivers into a graph showing river connectivity, and using this graph to predict the pollution at a given point in the river.
IIIT Hyderabad
My first experience with Natural Language Processing was at IIIT Hyderabad. I worked on a parser for the Hindi language.
