I am deeply interested in the analysis and implementation of machine learning algorithms. I am experienced in data science and analytics and have worked on diverse projects across domains like Actuarial Science, Genetics, Autonomous vehicles and Image recognition.
I am currently a graduate student at the Mathematics department of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and I focus on the applications of Mathematics in Data Science and Optimization.

Image Ranking using Deep Learning
Aug 2019 - Dec 2019(5 months)
- Achieved 61% test accuracy while using Resnet50 with SGD and a learning rate of 10-3 and dropout probability of 0.6.
Implemented a triplet sampling method for query images, positive and negative images from the ImageNet dataset.
- Applied Resnets to learn the embedding function that assigns smaller distances to similar images.
H
Histopathologic Cancer Detection
Jan 2019 - May 2019(5 months)
- Trained a Resnet model using a GPU on the training set and tuned the hyper-parameters to achieve a training accuracy of over 95%.
