#About Me
#Introduction
I am a dual-degree student of Computational Linguistics at IIIT Hyderabad. I have a keen interest in machine learning and natural language processing, along with the underlying architecture which powers it. I also like to take part in CTF (Capture The Flag) competitions and am consequently interested in cybersecurity and related tooling.
Recently I have been interested in low-level systems programming, whether it be making kernel userlands, programming languages, or full-blown virtual machines themselves.
I have a peculiar interest in learning about programming languages, both popular and obscure, with my go-to languages being Java, C, Python and Go.
Besides academics, I am interested in all sorts of art forms such as Music and Dancing, and am always finding opportunities to hone my skills related to them.
