About Me

Hi I’m Nikhil Shah. I am a senior undergraduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur.

I am currently working as a research intern at Amazon India. Previously, I have interned at the SHI lab, University of Oregon and at the CERN division at Chinese University of Hong Kong.

I am enthusiastic about research in machine learning and product development. I love to read about *nix based operating systems and Vim. I am fond of teaching and I write my blogs on machine learning concepts here.

I have enjoyed my stay at IIT Kharagpur so far. I am fond of photography (specially Sunsets!) and I often click something new that I see. In my free time I like to play basketball. Unlike most of my friends, I do not like to watch movies and TV shows leave apart a few. I’ll rather go for a long walk or just sleep.
