I am a developer and a competitive coder. I am very passionate about what I do and I always have the urge to learn more. I initially started off as a competitive coder and participated in various state and national level contests. Then I jumped on to web development and I am passionate about the application of ML.

I have a few wonderful projects that come to mind. The first is an ALS patient helper called "Assist". It's an OpenCV based project that can be used as a replacement for the hospital buzzer system specifically for ALS patients, as they can only communicate via blinks.

The second is an online platform for the elderly. This also acts as a medicine reminder, medicine checker, and forum for communication. We found a way to ensure that the elderly continue to remain in touch with technology.
It also had an OCR that helps to recognize the tablets by clicking the picture and it reads the name of the tablet. We plan to employ an ML algorithm that can recognize the tablet even if it is half torn/used.

In these projects, I learnt about hard work and perseverance. I learned that I have yet to understand much in the vast universe of development. I am enthusiastic about this Hackathon and look forward to whatever I will be able to learn.
