01 — About

Passionate about intelligent systems.

I'm Ankith Hegde, an engineering student specialising in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science. I'm drawn to problems where data meets decision-making — and where software can genuinely improve lives.

From smart waste segregation using computer vision to AI-powered study platforms, my focus is always on building things that work in the real world — not just on paper.

Currently deepening my knowledge in machine learning, deep learning, and large language models, with a growing interest in how thoughtful AI products are designed and shipped responsibly.
