Hey!
I'm Leo, a Computer Engineering grad.
I spent my final year of undergrad conducting research activities in the domain of
My ultimate goal has always been to engineer something that improves human life.
I have experience working in:
Languages: C, C++, Javascript, Python
Web Frameworks & Libraries: NodeJS, ReactJS, Next.js, Flask, Bootstrap
Data visualization and analysis: NumPy, Pandas, Seaborn, Matplotlib, Scikit-learn
Database Management: SQLite3, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
I spent my final year of undergrad conducting research activities in the domain of
Computational Neuroscience
.
I am deeply intrigued by the potential applications of intelligent systems in the
domains of healthcare and finance. I've also dabbled a fair bit in the web space, developing full-stack web applications

Courses taken
-As part of the course, I had to submit 8 (head-scratching) problem sets and one final project. The average grade for all my submissions was ~90%.
-The problem sets were rather unique coding assignments that were very applicative to real-world scenarios.
-This was arguably one of the best learning experiences I've had.
- I built apps like text-to-speech, doodle draw, and an image manipulator.
- We built a light following robot, a line-following robot, a BlueTooth-controlled robot, and a few more.
Don Bosco College Of Engineering
-Developed a solution to verify as much info as possible using the name of a person.
-Gave a video presentation on the same and answered a multiple rounds of questioning by the judges.
-Developed the entire event website to handle registrations and provide detailed information.
