Timezone: Kolkata,INDIA, UTC+5:30
Typical working hours:12:00PM to 11:00PM until May, 04:00PM to 11:00PM after May (Indian Standard Time) Time constraints: I just want to be clear up front that I do have a few time constraints to work around. I will be working a full-time job up until May 20. I'm also in college, and my semester end examinations happen around the last week of May till first week of June. Although I realize the overlap is somewhat significant, I'll be compensating for it by working overtime after the exams.

About Me

My name is Shivam Shah and I am a software engineer from India. I am a fairly good coder and even better problem solver. I did my fair share of if-then-else-while-for before I dived into the ocean of Computer Science. I am deeply interested in Machine Learning and Data Mining. The rest of my interest is shared among Artificial Intelligence(CV), NLP, Snooker and Travelling. I am currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science from Uttaranchal Institute of Technology, Dehradun. I am in my final semester and working hard on a project - System Navigation using Gestures
