<p> I am passionate about exposing more people to the world of Computer Science and making them aware of the
interesting, exciting and challenging problems that can be solved through it. My fields of interest are
Data Science, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing. Since 2017, I have been evangelizing
Computer Science and related fields by delivering talks and workshops. </p>
<p> If you attended any of my talks or workshops, I would love to hear about your
experience and suggestions on what worked and what did not.</p>
