I hold a bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Mumbai and a Master’s degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence from Northeastern University. I am currently working with one of Amazon's Alexa Secure AI Foundation (SAIF-Data) teams as a Software Development Engineer.
I have prior experience in software development through my 4-month internship with Amazon’s Alexa AI division. This internship gave me the necessary experience for processing data using a cloud-based prototype. I gained a deep understanding of AWS services and how they’re implemented along with insight as to how code gets deployed to production.
I gained first-hand research experience in Machine Learning after I got the opportunity to work as a research intern at the University of Groningen in the Fall of 2018. I worked on a novel feature selection method based on ensemble learning under the supervision of Dr. George Azzopardi. My research at the institute has been converted into a research paper published in the expert systems journal.
Vikram has very strong analytical and implementation skills and demonstrated that he can come with his own ideas. He is also mature, resourceful and motivated young man who is passionate about computer science, with a particular interest to machine learning. Academically, Vikram is a bright young man and he gained very good experience on how to develop and explore an idea thoroughly.
Vikram worked with us in the summer of 2018 on a feature selection research project at the University of Groningen. During his time with us, he was hardworking, clever, and quick to produce valuable results. He was also a good team player and took suggestions very openly. It's my pleasure to continue doing research with him, albeit remotely for the time being.
I would describe Vikram as a dynamic, intelligent, sincere and hard-working student who is dedicated to his responsibilities.His command over programming and his problem-solving abilities are what I consider his best assets.
Vikram is a motivated and persevering individual. He has an innate desire to keep improvising and working towards his goals. His strengths include his ability to take on multiple tasks simultaneously and produce high quality results within the given deadlines.
Apart from being technically sound, Vikram has shown a penchant for grasping and visualizing practical difficulties and this, per se, makes a potential research student. He has also been consistent with his grades and has been among the top students in the class.
