About
MY BACKGROUND
I am passionate about Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Deep Reinforcement Learning and their applications such as finance, healthcare and autonomous cars. During my PhD, I have worked on different projects such as Neural Net Compression using approximate curvature of loss function, Generalization in Deep Reinforcement Learning and using Deep Reinforcement Learning in Algorithmic Trading. I also worked for Walmart Labs as an intern where I used Reinforcement Learning to their packaging problems. Please download my resume if you are interested to know more.
