Welcome to my new blog!

Hello World 🥳

Hi, I’m Karan V and I’m a Machine Learning and Deep Learning enthusiast based in Chennai, India. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science Engineering with a specialization in AI & ML from Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, where I ranked in the top 5% of my class with a CGPA of 9.33.

My passion for Machine Learning led me to excel in data structures and algorithms, and I’m proficient in designing efficient solutions using Python, Java, R, Hadoop, Spark, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. My coding profile speaks volumes about my expertise in the field. I’m a Leetcode user with the username karanvk, and I’m ranked 265 globally, placing me in the top 0.1% of all users. On Codechef, my username is karanvk25, and I hold 5 stars, placing me in the top 0.5% globally and top 0.3% in India. I also have a Kaggle profile under the same username, karanvk, where I’m continually working on challenging Machine Learning problems. On Hacker Rank, my username is karanvknarayanan, and I’m proud to hold 6 Gold Stars and be in the top 1% globally in Hacker Rank AI.

My skills extend beyond just coding, and I’m well-versed in Linux, Oracle Database, Tableau, AWS, Azure, GCP, and several other technologies. I specialize in Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Dashboard Designing, and my proficiency in Linear Algebra, SQL, and Big Data has been an asset to all the projects I’ve worked on.

I’ve gained valuable experience working as a Site Reliability Engineer Intern at FourKites, where I launched system-wide API protection. I also engineered a plug n’ play rate limiter, improved inter-service call visibility, and lowered P1 incidents by over 30%. Additionally, I worked as a Blockchain Developer Intern at IntelliConnect Technologies, where I programmed dapps and Rust-based smart contracts on various blockchain platforms exceeding 100,000 active users. I started Kubernetes setup to deploy distributed blockchain applications, resulting in 4x faster deployment times.

I’ve completed various online courses and specializations, including the DeepLearning.AI TensorFlow Developer Specialization, Machine Learning on Google Cloud Specialization, and Functional Programming in Scala Specialization, among others.

My research on image processing and capsule networks has been recognized at the 3rd International Conference on Image Processing and Capsule Networks in Bangkok, Thailand. I presented a novel architecture for improving tuberculosis detection from microscopic sputum smear images. I’ve also evaluated deep learning frameworks for screening, detection, and diagnosis of glaucoma at the 6th International Conference on Trends in Electronics and Informatics in Tirunelveli, India.

In addition to my technical skills, I’m fluent in English, Tamil, and French, which allows me to communicate with a diverse group of people. I’m excited to continue pursuing my passion for Machine Learning and Deep Learning and contribute to the field’s growth and development.
