    I embody who I am through my work. I was fortunate enough to be able to come across Personal Computers at a very young age and to say that the experience had a role to play in who I am today would be an understatement. I like using technology to solve problems; I like how it allows me to help others in diverse ways. Computers instilled in me what was to be later on, one of my core traits: the habit to learn. If I am not learning, I am not growing. If I am not helping others around me, I might as well be dead. Over the past few years, my brief exploration of the field of statistics has developed into, what is now, my post-graduate specialization in Data Science. I'm a master's student in Software Engineering with an emphasis in Data Science at San Jose State University. I'm currently a research student at the university who is working on an AI project. Prior to my degree, I worked as a DevOps Engineer and, due to my experience, know a lot about bash/shell scripting and CI/CD pipelines. My experiences have had a huge impact on my interests as I now spend my days tinkering open source code to add quality of life features such as generating descriptive logs, csv files, giving time estimates, etc. What motivates me to work hard in this field is the potential that my work has; to be replicated and used by many people to get desired results. As a punjabi-sikh, my familial background goes into the agricultural industry, one could say we like to help and watch things grow. We take what may otherwise be neglected or thrown away, and use it to help produce fruit. Languages: Python, C/C++/C#, Java, SQL, NoSQL, Javascript, HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, React.js Frameworks / Libraries: AWS, Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly, Cufflinks, sklearn, Data Pipeline, Natural Language Processing, Principal component analysis, KNN, K means Clustering, SVM, Data Modeling, PyTorch, Tensorflow, Torchvision Tools: Stable Diffusion, Docker, Unity, Jupyter Notebook, node.js, MongoDB, Postman, VMware workstation, Bash, Git, AWS, Linux, powerShell, Spacy, NLTK, powerBI, Tableau Data Science Skills: Data Preprocessing/Wrangling, Data Visualization, Data Mining, Recommender Systems, A/B Testing, Exploration vs. Exploitation, Supervised/Unsupervised Machine Learning, Model Evaluation, Generative Models, Discriminative Models, Data Pipelines, Neural Networks, Generative Adversarial Networks, Deep Learning
