Hi there 👋, I’m Nikhil.
In my day-job, I work as lighting engineer with expertise in lighting components and controls. All fields (even lighting) are converging towards Tech and I hope to contribute in the near future to bridge this gap.
While I try to enjoy my time in lighting, I also pursue a part-time MS degree through Georgia Tech’s current-coursework. My time in the program has gotten me deeply intrigued into mathematics, machine (& deep) learning and all things Bayesian. In my free time, I try to update my inductive priors on these topics as much as possible. 🙃
Backpropagating? What are you talking about?
In machine learning, backpropagation is a technique to update the weights of a neural network. In the same way, this site aims to be an archive of posts and notes that help you update the weights of your brains’ neurons!
Open Source Contributions and Projects
While I update my weights on deep learning architectures, I’m trying not to be a code monkey and am skilling up my coding skills through open source contributions and projects.
Some of my recent projects can be seen here and my recent PRs can be seen here
