Hello there, My name is Kasyap Varanasi and I'm an aspiring Data Scientist and a Machine Learning Engineer.





"In the silent whispers of dawn's embrace,
Hard work emerges, a bridge to grace.
Through trials and toils, with steadfast pace,
Dreams find wings in its relentless chase."


A Little Bit Of My Story

Incoming MS in CS at University of Massachusetts Amherst

Greetings! I'm an experienced AI-ML professional specializing in Computer Vision, NLP, and ML solutions, with a strong background in developing impactful projects and upholding ethical AI practices.
