About me
Hi, I am Sahil. I am student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am pursuing Masters of Science in Computer Science with Concentration in Data Science. I am aspiring to be a Software Developer and really interested in Backend development in distributed systems and ML applications. The coding languages I am familiar with are Python, C++ and Java.
I have been involved in many projects during my masters, my undergrad and in my internships. I have also published a research paper to detect meaning behind an infant cry using speech processing and Deep Learning techniques. I recently did my internship in a startup called sheeva.ai. There I developed a software to detect parking spaces using satellite images, made a data simulator of cars for internal testing and also built a service to detect the nearest parking spot given the current location. I also designed and built a scalable movie recommender system recently using Spark. In my software engineering course, my team built a navigation system which takes elevation into account so that instead of finding the shortest route, we can also find a route which requires less effort and would help in hiking. Another notable project was the project called the Research paper tagger which took a research paper as an input to detect the research track. The aim of this project was to help young researchers with their paper submission process.
I believe I am detail-oriented and like to think of myself as a team player. I aim to utilize my skills in a variety of technical and engineering-related applications.
