I am a Ph.D. Scholar at IIT Dharwad and I am currently working on harnessing Natural Language Processing for Legal Technology under Dr. Konjengbam Anand (https://sites.google.com/view/drkonjengbamanand/) .
I have previously worked in optimizing resources for Federated Learning for my stint as a Master's Student at IIIT Kottayam. In addition to this, I have worked with interfacing Cloud Computing services such as those provided by Amazon Web Services and IoT devices for driving data collection. I worked on both under Dr. Shajulin Benedict at IIIT Kottayam(http://www.sbenedictglobal.com/)
My skills include Python, Deep Learning and Amazon Web Services, of which I have extensive experience in Python
