Hello, and welcome to my portfolio!

I'm Vaishnav, a backend software engineer with over 3 years of experience, specializing in Golang and Python. My career has been shaped by working with cutting-edge startups in India, where I've developed a strong foundation in building scalable backend systems for e-commerce.

I'm currently a Master of Computer Science student at Dalhousie University, where I am a member of the MAPS LAB, focussing on Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques for Autonomous Navigation.

I believe in using technology to solve real-world problems for under-served people. Here, you’ll find a collection of my work, from backend systems to AI-driven applications.

Stock Price Prediction Using LSTM and CNN (2021)

In my senior year, while conversing with my professor after class, I learned that only 3% of Indians invested in equity markets due to a general risk aversion towards market volatility. This statistic was shocking, and I contacted numerous bank employees to understand better how Indians invest. Along with my professor and team, I aimed to create a solution, a simple website that interacts with AI/ML models that could help guide young Indians in making their first investments in equity markets. This work culminated in a research paper titled "A Hybrid Model for Stock Price Prediction using Machine Learning Techniques with CNN", which we published at an IEEE conference. Our work was awarded Best Paper at the 11th International Conference on Science and Innovative Engineering in 2021. This experience fascinated me with how neural networks work, especially LSTM and CNN.
