About Me

I’m Armaan, a rising junior at the Massachusetts Academy School of Math & Science. I enjoy programming and hope to pursue a future in Computer Science. I create Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning content on YouTube. I am proficient in Python and its various deep learning libraries, and most of my projects revolve around AI/ML and other emerging technologies. My favorite subject is math, and the applications of calculus and linear algebra in AI/ML/DL are really cool to me.

I’m also a programmer for Massachusetts Co-Champion FIRST Tech Challenge Team 12589 Pioneer Robotics. I’m well-versed in robot programming and software development in Android Studio using Java and Kotlin. You can find my resume here.

Hobbies

Apart from programming, I love to consume media in all forms, take photos, draw digital art, and play the alto saxophone. You can find some of my photos and art elsewhere on this site. When I get to it, I might start writing media analyses. I also follow basketball and soccer and my favorite teams are the Celtics and Juventus.
