Hi everyone!

I am Siddhi and my passion for building machine-learning solutions has made me pick machine-learning engineering as a career. I have been working with machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, and machine learning operations for the last 5 years. Currently, I am just a student with a lot of time to work on my repo. You can check out my projects here.

My first job was as a data scientist in one of the subsidiaries of a prestigious fintech company in Nepal called extensodata. At extensodata, I mostly tangled with huge structured fintech data ranging from banks to e-wallets. I began realizing that data science is a huge field and can get very vague.

I wanted to specialize in computer vision and joined Leapfrog, where I worked on some image segmentation and object tracking projects. After working for a year, I decided to continue my studies and joined the graduate program at the University of South Dakota.
