About you

I am an engineering junior at Cluster Innovation Center, University of Delhi, pursuing a major in Information Technology and Mathematics. In daylight, I work towards my academic skills and professional commitments, and by night, I develop and maintain open-source research software, which I believe are the key to collaborative and reproducible research.

Currently, I am a fellow at the Analysis Systems group of Institute for Research and Innovation in Software for High Energy Physics (IRIS-HEP), where I am working on the first-ever major release of Vector under Dr. Henry Schreiner and Dr. Jim Pivarski. I am also working as a technical writer for FluxML under Julia Season of Contributions. I am interested in everything a Research Software Engineer and a Machine Learning Engineer do! I am passionate about Scientific Machine Learning, Computer Vision, developing packages, code optimization, technical writing, building infrastructures and CI/CD pipelines, developing and advocating open-source research software, JuliaLang, and Python. Psst, I was previously interested in Android and backend development, and though I still remember most of them, I have moved on.

Availability

Most possibly the upcoming session.

Great, are you on PyDelhi Telegram Group, if not please send me your Username so that I can add you.

gaurav-open-source avatar Aug 30 '22 16:08 gaurav-open-source

Hey Need confirmation from your side, are you ready for the meetup? please reply.

gaurav-open-source avatar Sep 08 '22 10:09 gaurav-open-source

Hi, @yednapg! Sorry for the delay, but I just went through the venue and it is around a 2 hour ride from my home. It would be very difficult for me to travel there the upcoming weekend (given that PyHEP is also next week, and I am presenting my summer research work remotely). Would it be possible to reschedule my talk for the next PyDelhi meetup? Apologies for the inconvenience.

Saransh-cpp avatar Sep 10 '22 08:09 Saransh-cpp

Hey, @Saransh-cpp I am very sorry to hear that. As we already schedule your talk I can move to the very beginning at the meetup you'll be free by 11:30 - 12:00. Please let me know as soon as possible I have a meeting with the Operations team tomorrow for finalizing the schedule.

Best, Gaurav!

gaurav-open-source avatar Sep 10 '22 13:09 gaurav-open-source

That sounds good, @yednapg! My telegram username is @SaranshChopra. I can deliver my talk early in the morning!

Hi, @pulsar17

I really want to. But, unfortunately, it won't be possible for me to give this talk again on 19th November because of my upcoming endsems.
