Hello! My name is Ankita

Okay, picture this: a girl from Pune, India, graduates undergrad with flying colors, spends two years navigating the corporate jungle at NTT Data, trying to figure out what more is to life than what is already being acheived, then realizes life needs more oomph than masala chai. That's when her adventure began:

  • Masters in the US ✓
  • Startup hustle to sharpen the saw ✓
Now, at Barclays, exploring the world of bigdata and hadoop, I'm ready for the Silicon Valley adventure. Bay Area dreams simmering, I'm eager to join a team where passion meets purpose and lattes flow freely (okay, maybe sometimes chai too).

Let's get down to business, shall we?

PROJECTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

CodeBlackBot

This project involves developing a Chinese Go Bot using python libraries. Bot would compete with other bots and improve its score. Achieved the highest accuracy by far using Gradient Decent Algorithm. An AI driven Go bot hosted on Online-Go.com server.

ScroogeCoin

The class returns a mutually valid transaction set, selects transactions it has chosen to accept, handleTxs should also update its internal UTXOPool to reflect the current set of unspent transaction outputs, so that future calls to handleTxs() and isValidTx() are able to correctly process/validate transactions that claim outputs from transactions that were accepted in a previous call to handleTxs()

SmartyPants

Created this project to experiment around OpenAI. Mr. Smarty Pants takes in a text input as a prompt and answers life's questions. This is still a project under development and will be hosted on AWS soon. Please watch the Demo Video below :
