Profile: https://flows.cv/prateekprincethakur

I am super passionate about solving interesting problems, empowering people, and driving change. If you’re looking to bounce off ideas or are just looking for advice especially around technical problems, I’d be more than happy to function as a sounding board. I am sure there is something we both can learn from each other. 

As an undergrad student at IIT(BHU), Varanasi. I was keenly interested in data structures and algorithms. I regularly took part in competitive programming events online. I also delved into research and study in fields of Machine Learning, Number theory, Game theory and NLP.
