Activities

Teaching Assistant

I served as a Teaching Assistant for Reinforcement Learning, a graduate level course, for The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL). This is an online learning platform supported by the Indian government based on the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) model. My responsibilities included mentoring more than 2000 students by providing active support on the discussion forums and coming up with challenging problems for weekly quizzes and end examination. These responsibilities were more difficult for this course as compared to offline ones, as the students varied from undergraduate students to established industry professionals seeking to shift fields or expand their knowledge for professional growth.

Volunteering

As a Goldman Sachs intern, I participated in Community Teamworks where we interacted with local school kids in Bengaluru and used storytelling and other creative art forms to ignite the learning spark in them and learn important lessons like collaboration, being able to speak up in front of everyone early on in their life.

Sports

I enjoy playing table tennis, badminton and foosball in my free time and have participated in several departmental events as a part of CS Trophy.
