Karthik Iyer

I am a 19 year old, third year undergraduate currently pursuing Chemical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. I have always been intrigued by Technology and how machines can be programmed to do amazing stuff. I was introduced to programming in class 8 when I took a course in core Java and have been coding since then. I took a liking to Android Development after joining IITR and currently am exploring the field of Computer Graphics, mainly Physically based Rendering. I have worked on a VR project named FEEL-VR. It is a VR book reader with voice controlled dictionary feature. I've made a photo editor for Android and have made a graph plotting library for Android. I have worked on an Android App for a startup based in Switzerland. I have also written a simple raytracer in C++.

My team and I also secured 3rd position at Hack In the North 2.0 held at IIIT Allahabad.

This summer I did my Google Summer of Code with TensorFlow. In my GSoC project I made a truly cross-platform Data Visualization Library in Swift.

I enjoy learning new things. The thing that drives me is that computers and code can do amazing unimaginable stuff, and this process involves solving good problems, which I enjoy doing.

• Activity & the latest architecture components in Android Jetpack with Firebase and Cloud Firestore for backend.
TensorFlow - Student Developer
May 2019 - August 2019
• Did my Google Summer of Code 2019 project with Swift for TensorFlow.
• Worked on developing a cross-platform Data Visualization library (similar to matplotlib) in Swift.
• Implemented AGG & SVG rendering backends in the library with capability to implement other backends in the future.
• Added a graphics output library to swift-jupyter using pure Swift. This library generates jupyter messages & sends it to the jupyter-kernel to display images in base64 format.
