Moksh Jain

I'm broadly interested in Machine Learning and it's applications to various domains of Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. I'm also interested in Blockchain and Decentralised Applications.

I'm driven by my curiosity to learn about the machines that make up the modern world. I am passionate about leveraging new technologies to build innovative solutions to long-standing real-world problems. I love to build clean interfaces and robust services.

The most complex project I have worked on is Secure Aadhaar. It is a blockchain based digital identification system, to replace the existing inefficient Aadhaar infrastructure. The main reason to leverage a blockchain for this is the characteristics of transparency and security guaranteed by the blockchain. The user gets to provide selective access to his details. Each request and access is a transaction on the blockchain. This makes the process much more transparent and secure. This application was built using Hyperledger Composer for building the smart contract for the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain and the user client was built with Angular.

I worked on this project during a hackathon and I learned a lot of things. Apart from the tech stack, I was able to learn how to work effectively with a team, rapid prototyping and how to come with an idea and execute it in a limited timeframe.

I believe that hackathons are a place where passionate and talented people can come together and solve problems that have the potential to augment the daily lives of millions of people. This ability to make a difference motivates me to take part in hackathons.
