About Me

I hold a PhD in Mathematics specializing in the area of Stochastic and Integral Geometry. Mathematics is my greatest passion. I am getting excited in making things simple and elegant with mathematical insights.

My coding expertise is primarily in server side programming and development of web-based tools. Currently, I am developing a professional interest in data science and Digitial Humanities. My most recent project, magaghat.ai, concerns applications of artificial intelligence in the analysis of ancient manuscripts.
