Solving problems using math and computers is my favourite job to do. In early days of my career, I aspired to be a good software engineer, and I passionately pursued it until I slowly transitioned towards a research career. While I write less code as a researcher than what I’m used to doing as a software engineer, I emphasize on good software engineering practices, and open sourcing of tools with a permissible license. In the beginning (2012-2016) I wrote much of my code in Java/Groovy/Scala, but in the recent years (2016-Now), Python has become my go to choice. I have released a bunch of tools to PyPi.
I sometimes participate in StackOverflow QA threads.
Here are some of my selected projects:
