My major area of interest lies in Game Development and Machine Learning. Therefore I have worked in developing apps integrated with Machine Learning algorithms. And I have also worked on majorly on Reinforcement learning which deals with training agents to learn to do certain tasks in an environment.

Following are my experience of participating in Hackathons -

1. Smart India Hackathon ( Organized by government of India ) - A web app to detect income tax frauds based on data from various sources like online shopping, social media etc. We got selected for the Grand Finale of the Hackathon and developed the web app successfully.

2. WebClub Hackathon - In this I worked in a team of 3 to make a web extension which can automatically detect toxic words in a web page and send notification to the user. And the user could select to block the website or ignore the notification.

3. Adaptive Video Streaming web application.
   I recently worked on this web application using Nodejs. The application uses a distributed set of servers to handle the requests. We implemented load balancing algorithms to schedule jobs and distribute the loa between the servers.

I have also been selected for various other Ideathons like in Microsoft Codess and Uber She++.

Apart from this I have worked on various Web Development and Machine Learning based projects mentioned in my resume.

My favorite among all of them is the project on Multi-Agent Systems. In this project we implemented the DIAL( Differential Inter Agent Learning) algorithm to solve a Multi-agent problem - The Switch Riddle.

I also have experience working with the Unity game engine and have worked on developing games integrated with ML Algorithms.

Having participated in various Hackathons, I believe that if given an opportunity I can utilize my experience well to be a good and productive team member.
