I am person with varied interest in chess, photography and machine learning!! I am inspired by anything involing logic and this motivated me to puruse a career in machine learning. I completed my Ph.D. in machine learning at University at Buffalo (SUNY UB) at the department of computer science. I am now workng as a Research Scientist at Janya where I develop machine learning algorithms for Information Extraction(IE) and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

I have a great passion for chess and play regularly at clubs and tournaments. You can read more about my chess activities at my chess page. I am an ardent fan of Vishy Anand.

Lastly, I am an avid photographer and I own a Canon 40D with some decent lens gear. You can see some of my work at flickr
