I am a motivated and detail-oriented Master of Technology (M.Tech) student specializing in Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Warangal, with a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) from Aditya Engineering College. With hands-on experience as a Machine Learning Intern at Feynn Labs and a Database Administrator at Webbook, I have developed a solid foundation in machine learning, database management, and software development.

My projects include developing a speech emotion recognition system, conducting data analysis for strategic business decisions, and evaluating subgroup discovery strategies for my M.Tech thesis. I am proficient in languages such as C++, Python, and SQL, and I have a strong interest in Data Science and Data Engineering.

In addition to my technical skills, I possess excellent problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and communication skills, which I honed as a teaching assistant and through leadership roles. I am eager to leverage my skills in real-world applications and contribute to innovative projects in the tech industry.
