Rishav

Hello! My name is Rishav. I am an engineer at heart and nothing excites me more than scale. My long term goal is to provide deep learning solutions to masses at scale.

I co-founded Offside where I developed the entire tech, scaled the product to 100k users and raised $300k from prominent VCs and angels. Unfortunately though, our intuition failed and the product was not able to cement a place in the market.

Even before that I spent ~2 amazing years in Kasierslautern, Germany working at DFKI in the augmented vision department as a Research Engineer where I developed real-time algorithms for precision farming.

I graduated from BITS Pilani, India with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science in 2020.

My larger goal is to develop robust, scalable and reliable machine learning systems (currently exploring DeepRL & robotics systems). I often write blogs on my learnings in various projects and about life in general.

I believe in Slow Science.

While I am not working, I like to read about historical events, specially related to ancient civilizations or listen to music some old classic rock. I am a fan of historical dramas, trekking and strength training. Here's a TODO.
