I’m a mechanical engineering graduate from Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), India. Implementation of machine learning (ML) in the field of mechanical engineering always intrigues me! I am fond of carrying out research that can help people shorten the gap between ML and mechanical engineering.

Currently, I am a graduate student at Kyushu Institute of Technology.

My Story

Being an engineer and a programming enthusiast, I learn from what I do and I practice to make it better. I love experimenting with my programming abilities by learning basics to advanced level through real-time projects and examples.

I utilize time in reading research papers because I believe every study and every project in the world of research not only provides insights, answers, and details, it poses new questions. I love to work on multidisciplinary topics by collaborating with researchers and try to learn from them. After considering the option to continue my studies as a graduate student, I was fortunate enough to bag four well-known scholarships which are the Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC), Türkiye Bursları (TBBS), Global Korea Scholarship (GKS), and Monbukagakusho Scholarship (MEXT).


Apart from research works, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy biking, free climbing, and playing football. When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and action genre movies and television shows. I love to cook and consider me as an aspiring chef. Haha!


I also own a web development company, WebMake (Visit here!). I build web pages for clients who want to put their business on-line. Also if someone needs a portfolio like this website, I can help ^_^
