Education:
Pursuing 2nd Year B.Tech in CSE + M.S. in Exact Humanities  at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad.
Work History:
●MIT Media Labs Project
Project under the Imaging through Steroids Track
April, 2011
Developed an Interface using kinect and a language called 'Processing' to control a music player. The interface could be used to map the body movements by graphics instead of the previously prevalent ideas of sensors. 
●Center Of Exact Humanities, IIIT-H
Summer, 2012
The Project is under development and required the extension of kinect and translate it into a java interface to finally model an algorithm which would enable us to automate the motions of a person. The broader idea involves rendering the Java interface into an animation software.
●Center of Exact Humanities, IIIT-H
Summer, 2012
Involved programming a web crawler in python which could extract information from the web and automatically create the wiki pages for it. It required some level of understanding of semantics and thus implement something new. It is still ongoing.
●RHoK, Hyderabad, India (Random Hacks of Kindness)
(http://www.rhok.org/)
June, 2012
The 2 days of RHoK hackathon required us to create apps. The application won the 2nd prize in the Hyderabad Hackathon. It is primarily targeted as a tool to help  Children suffering with Autism. It has an interactive interface with the idea of "LOCALIZED knowledge". Herein a database application enables the users to access data on the basis of their geographical location so that they can relate well with the data.
●  Signal Processing & Communication Research Center
Optimal Design Of Organizationsl Hierarchies, under Dr. Ram Murthy
October, 2012
Project aimed at:
      1.Solving the Problem of Source Coding Problem: Optimal Source Coding
      2.Making a User Friendly Software PackageTechnologies Used:
     ->  Python for database inputs and graph optimization.
     ->  Javascript, SVG, HTML5 for UI and rendering interactive graphs.
● Data Base Management System Project (MySQL)
Under Professor P.K.Reddy
October, 2012
Developed an Application and Programming a Database Management System for the NGO “Helping Sticks”. This is more of a portal based project wherein we used Php,mysql and xampp. Having completed this course familiarity with content management systems has also become a forte.
● IIIT-H Hackathon:
Community Radio (IIITH-Pod)
October,2012
Intranet based Radio hosted over a selected server with options for the users to request songs of their choice.Technologies Used:php,HTML5,Javascript,Mysql
