About me
I am Naitik, an IIT Madras BS in Data Science student and developer from India passionate about AI and machine learning. Programming started as something I explored out of curiosity and quickly became the thing I spend most of my time on. My focus right now is building ML models, working with data, and understanding how things actually work under the hood.
I completed Harvard's CS50x, which changed how I think about computer science entirely. It is not just syntax or libraries — it is a way of reasoning about problems. That shift in mindset is what I carry into every project.
I document everything on YouTube because the best way to understand something is to explain it to someone else. No gatekeeping, just honest learning in public.

Journey
No CS degree — just curiosity, consistency, and a lot of problem-solving.
Started exploring Python out of curiosity while in school. Built basic scripts, calculators, and text programs. Got hooked immediately.
Discovered Pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn. Started working through Kaggle notebooks. Realised machine learning was the area I wanted to go deep on.
Completed Harvard's Introduction to Computer Science on edX. C, Python, SQL, algorithms, data structures — and a final project that was a Sentiment Analysis CLI. This one changed everything.
Building ML and data projects while documenting the process on YouTube. Learning in public.
Exploring deep learning, neural networks, and TensorFlow. IIT Madras BS in Data Science student. Still building every day.
Credentials
Formal recognition of the work put in.
Open to interesting conversations, collaborations, and anything related to ML, data, and building things.
