Hello
I'm Nikhil.
I build data & AI systems — and the tests that prove they work. MCA from CHRIST University, based in Bengaluru, open to work.

None of these needed more data, a better model or more compute. Each one changed what I was entitled to claim — and I learned every one of them by getting it wrong first.
