About Me

Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Chhavi - a software engineer with 3 years of hands-on development work in applying machine learning, data mining, and AI techniques in real-world applications.

Skilled in Python, data preprocessing, building scalable systems, model development, and evaluation. Experienced in collaborating on AI-powered recommendation, sentiment-analysis systems, chatbots, CNN-based face recognition, and LLM-powered translation and summarisation tools, demonstrating early-stage research interest.

A quick learner with strong analytical grounding, research acumen and a university rank holder, now aiming to pursue the MSc Data and Artificial Intelligence programme to strengthen theoretical foundations, explore applied research, and contribute to socially responsible research.

What’s it like to work with me?

“Chhavi is an exceptionally intelligent student, evident through her strong academic performance and her exceptional ability in the mathematically rigorous aspects of the undergraduate programme she undertook. Her strong foundation in concepts like probability & statistics, discrete mathematics, linear algebra, calculus, and Fourier analysis showcased her continual ability in applied mathematics. Her early BERT-based model for semantic analysis of Google reviews, presented at Smart India Hackathon 2020, showcased strong grounding in statistics, optimisation, and applied probability. ”

“I have observed that Chhavi has a strong quantitative, mathematical and analytical foundation along with strong research acumen, which enables her to understand and contribute to advanced machine learning research. Along with being the top scorer in my class, she demonstrated a firm grasp of software concepts and a deep, intuitive understanding of complex algorithms, often identifying connections that other students missed. Her evident passion and curiosity for machine learning and data mining led her to explore topics beyond the scope of the curriculum. Her patience, rigour, and intellectual independence reflect the mindset required for doctoral research.”

“Chhavi joined us just a few months back, but she’s already made a significant impact! She’s quickly picked up our product knowledge, tackled some crucial integrations and features, and resolved key issues along the way. It’s not just us who’ve noticed her hard work—our client has also appreciated and recognised her contributions. Thank you, Chhavi, for all your hard work and dedication. Keep up the fantastic work!”

— Rahul Sarkar, Team Lead - Particle41

“A massive shout-out to Chhavi on the successful delivery of the new contest platform! All elements of the portal have been launched into production on time (or ahead of time) and on budget, and the fact that we have had zero bugs reported during entry closing is a true testament to your skill, dedication, and incredible attention to detail. This smooth delivery has set a high bar, and we're all incredibly proud of your work. Thank you for all your efforts!”

— Sarah Dempsey, Product Manager - Particle41
Education

where did I build my foundation?

Aug 2019 - Jul 2023

I have completed my Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, India. I gained a rigorous theoretical foundation in core computer science while developing a strong interest in machine learning, optimisation, and data-centric computing. Coursework, projects, and research-driven mentoring strengthened my mathematical reasoning, model-building skills, and understanding of AI systems end-to-end. I worked on multiple research-based technical projects to widen my technical and research skillset.

  • Final Grade: 9.29/10 CGPA – Secured 14th and 6th university rankings in the first and second semesters, respectively.
  • Completed mathematically intensive courses including Applied Mathematics, Theory of Computation, Compiler Design, Switching Theory, and Computer Organization, building strong analytical and theoretical fundamentals.
  • Studied and applied ML-focused modules such as Machine Learning (with Lab), Artificial Intelligence, and Data Mining & Business Intelligence, reinforcing interests in optimisation, statistical learning, and data-driven inference.
  • Built engineering depth through Algorithms Design & Analysis, Data Structures, Operating Systems, Database Systems, Advanced DBMS, and Software Engineering, providing the computational toolkit required for scalable AI systems.
  • Gained hands-on experience across computer vision, NLP, and distributed systems through labs, course projects, and IEEE research exposure.
  • Mentored under faculty supervision on several applied AI projects, shaping early research direction and problem-solving rigour.
