About Me

Hello! I'm Hardik, an undergraduate researcher at CVIT, IIITH. I'm pursuing a dual degree program, combining a B.Tech in Computer Science with an MS by Research in Computational Linguistics, at the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, with an anticipated graduation in 2026. Currently, I'm engaged in various projects in Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision. These projects are not only enhancing my Python skills but also laying a foundation in these fields. My goal is to apply this knowledge to contribute to Open Source Projects related to NLP and Computer Vision. Apart from academics, I enjoy jogging, playing football, drumming, photography, video editing, and exploring emerging technologies.

What I Do

Computer Vision

As a researcher in Computer Vision, I work on developing algorithms and techniques that enable machines to interpret and understand visual information from the world around us

Cyber Security

I really enjoy Cyber Security as a hobby. It's fascinating to explore the intricacies of computer systems and the ways in which they can be secured or compromised

Natural Language Processing

As a researcher in natural language processing (NLP), my work revolves around developing and improving algorithms and models that enable computers to understand and generate human language.

Hobbies

I love playing drums - the rhythm and beats give me an exhilarating rush. When I'm not drumming, I'm either on the football field, capturing moments with my camera, or creating stunning videos through editing.
