Interned in the Data Analytics, Engineering Team of India's one of hottest and most successful startup. I worked primarily on designing a mathematical framework for A/B experiments and implement it on the Zomato web and apps.
I also happened to play on Zomato's large transactional dataset by applying data mining techniques (like Graph clustering and decisions tress) and deriving specific knowledge through through visualization.
Worked as a software development intern in the Gnowledge (open-source ;p ) Lab at Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education under Dr. G. Nagarjuna. The internship was a part of the Practise school programme of BITS Pilani.
I, along with 3 other students, worked on an ongoing project on designing a MOOC framework called MetaStudio. The platform is built on top of a core that implements knowledge graph and extends the features of edX by incorporating versioning, multi-lingual support etc.
Check out the project.
Participated in a month-long startup bootcamp aimed at designing, implementing and validating a startup in some of the common domains.
It helped me gain a descent and brief insight about the process of starting-up a business, beginning from designing thinking and modelling operations to iterative customer validation and even finance.

A cohesive group of people which plans out the techninal fest of BITS Pilani, APOGEE. The group is instrumental in arranging all the logistics, planning out the budget, coordinating club activities and making pivotal decisions concerning the fest.
We hosted the 2016 edition of APOGEE, which was an unprecedented success, with a notable panel of speakers including Richard Stallman, MJ Akbar, and Jairam Ramesh, exhibitions by NDRF and CEERI, a literary festival and a startup conclave.
A group of creatives, it does the job of creating the website, videos, and apps for the fest at BITS Pilani. I worked as Web developer for 2 years, and then had the opportunity to coordinate the activities of the group.
It has been a vital part of my college life and has shaped me to what I am today.
