Background

About Samarth Mishra

I caught fire coding. I always thought my dream was to be a proofreader for a little indie publishing company, sipping my café con leche and reading the opening lines to the next best-selling vampire novel. It seemed like an appropriate dream given my voracious hunger for art and literature. But I kind of just felt meh. I yearned to learn more, yearned to learn something different. And that's when it happened; the spark I was missing ignited the instant I clicked play on my first Python tutorial video.(I mean seriously, how could it not be great when it's named after Monty Python's Flying Circus?) Since then, I can't get enough. Machine Learning and data engineering call to my passions; it incorporates creativity and problem solving and I'm allowed to break it to improve the code(in a separate Git branch, of course). I love applying software engineering principles to whatever I lay my hands over and it's oddly satisfying. My specialties include quickly learning new skills and programming languages, problem solving, software design principles and SOLID principles of organizing code. So far I have C, C++, HTML, CSS, Django, OpenCV, Python, SQL, GCP, Selenium, CI/CD, Docker, Machine Learning and Git/GitHub under my belt. Being a Computer Science and Engineering undergrad at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, I aspire to excel both academically and professionally thereby acquiring a sound knowledge in this domain. I'm still enthusiastically grabbing onto any other programming languages, frameworks, or principles I can integrate into the coding web in my head. The fact that human beings are outnumbered by Internet devices today made me realize the unexplored ocean of potentials that computers possess.
