I'm a graduate student at UCSC. My primary interests are Databases and Distributed Systems. I'm particularly interested in making systems more scalable and fault tolerant. Currently, I'm enrolled in Analysis of Algorithms and Distriubted Systems. Planning to take Advanced Databases next quarter. Actively seeking summer 2019 internships.

Designed a system to rate news articles on their credibility. Created a CNN based model which classifies news as Fake or Real. This model was trained on glove vector embedding of the news articles. The model achieved an accuracy of 97.8% on Kaggle Fake News Challenge. Summary of news topics was generated using Tex-Rank algorithm.
A simple and intuitive system that allows the users to code in their browser and execute their projects. Built on a node.js as the back-end. The system supports multiple features like directory management, code editor and code execution.
Implemented an eye care system for computer monitors that involves tracking the blink rate of the user and alerting them if it goes below the norms. Eye regions are extracted using Haar Cascades classifiers. CNN model implemented using Keras is used to detect eyeblinks.
Prediction of stocks based on historical stock data. The systems train multiple machine learning models based on different stock market technical indicators and predict the values of the next N-days using the best one.
Created an Android Application with a node.js backend which simulated the actual workings of the stock market. Used as an educational tool to teach students about investing in the stock market. Linear Regression was used to predict the future stock prices based on current trends.
Developed a chatbot which takes in symptoms from the users and gives them a possible diagnosis. The chatbot is connected to a MYSQL database which contains all the symptoms and diseases.
Designed a system which predicted the popularity of tweets posted by news twitter handles. Different features were extracted and a gradien boosting based classifier was trained which provided an accuracy of 80%.
When I get free time (which is very rare), I like to watch anime, binge watch a tv show, play video games and read news. I make sure that I workout every single day. You'll find me biking around the campus in between and after lectures.
