As a Software Development Engineer II at Altair, I work with cutting-edge technologies to design, develop, and deploy scalable and robust software solutions for various domains and industries. I leverage my skills and knowledge in machine learning, big data, cloud computing, and full stack development to create innovative and user-friendly applications that solve complex problems and deliver value to our clients and stakeholders.

I have a strong academic background in computer science, with a MS from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a BE from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani. During my studies, I gained hands-on experience in research and development, working as a lead developer and a research assistant at UIC and Yale, respectively. I developed database-driven websites with data dashboards using React, SpringBoot, and MySQL, and contributed to multiple publications in the fields of natural language processing and computer vision. I also hold several certifications in Linux, Windows Server, and SQL from LinkedIn. 

I am passionate about learning new technologies, frameworks, and tools, and applying them to real-world scenarios and challenges. I am always eager to collaborate with other professionals, researchers, and experts, and share my insights and ideas. I am looking for opportunities to grow as a software engineer, data engineer, or data scientist, and to work on projects that involve advanced machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, or computer vision.
