Hi, I'm Samrat 👋

Professional Introduction: I love using computing to build new paradigms to solve the world’s most pressing humanitarian issues. Reinforcement learning, blockchains, distributed systems, robotics, and economics are all fields that excite me! In my free time, you’ll find me leading Bits of Good, where I help nonprofits amplify their impact through computing.

I’m currently working on:

• Retirement Portfolio Optimization Using Deep Reinforcement Learning

Projects I've Finished

• Scatter Protocol: An Incentivized and Trustless Protocol for Decentralized Federated Learning - Accepted to IEEE International Conference on Blockchain
• Roboflow Python Package: Interface with Roboflow API in Python – my most popular project with 300,000+ monthly downloads!
• Bits of Good Analytics Platform: The unified analytics platform for Bits of Good
• Healing4Heroes: Accelerating Training for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Service Animals

casual introduction (open with caution)

welcome to my thought space! the world is a crazy place and sometimes I need a place to spill my brain so you'll find me writing here a lot! be warned, this isn't your typical blog -- you might find my jocular side talking about how dinosaur space aliens will take over the world or perhaps my nerdy side talking about how we can build a more robust future with peer2peer technology. everything in this blog is a free write straight from my thoughts so don't be suprised if you see weird grammar or 20 typos in the same sentence. I hope you enjoy this wild journey.

P.S. if you are an employer who randomly happens to be reading my blog -- be warned this blog is representative of my personality + interests outside of what I do professionally

oh and here is a random photo of me :)

if you want to put a face to this writing, here I am !!
