About Atharva Khandait

It was 2017 when I first discovered Machine Learning. I fell in love with it. I got obsessed. For the next 3 years, I ate, slept, breathed, and even dreamt A.I. I couldn\'t wait to do the next course on Deep Learning. I built all kinds of neural networks. I got very curious about the math and the theory that makes them work, and I went in deep. I started reading research papers, implementing them, modifying them. I worked on some research projects with professors at my college. Then came 2020, I went back to college and got the degree I had started. I currently work as a data scientist at the largest private bank in India. I try to solve problems using Machine Learning. It\'s a lot of fun. I want to build a career in Machine Learning and keep doing what I love, and build amazing A.I. P.S. I am skilled in Python and C++
