Interests

Apart from being a student and a software developer, I spend most of my time working with broken electronic devices and trying to fix them or salvage the broken parts and components and try to assemble different dvices. I actually took apart a dead computer and was able to assemble a decent soldering station from the salvaged parts.

I also have great interest in the field of AI. When not doing school work or software development I mostly do online courses from Andrew Ng on Coursera where I get to learn new things in the field of AI and also help out other students in the discussion forums.

I also love playing computer games. One game in particular gets all of my love and attention... It's called Kerbal Space Program (KSP).
