👋 Hi, I’m Rishi Shanthan Bhagavatham

🎓 Graduate Student in Data Science @ University at Buffalo (Expected May 2025)
💡 Passionate about AI, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision — with experience in building intelligent systems that combine research insight and real-world scalability.

🚀 About Me

I’m an aspiring AI Engineer / Data Scientist / Computer Vision Researcher, focused on solving challenging real-world problems through data-driven insights and deep learning models.

My projects span across domains — from autonomous traffic object detection, transformer architectures for text understanding, financial LSTM forecasting, to molecular dynamics simulation using LAMMPS and MATLAB.

I enjoy transforming complex datasets into practical applications and have experience with the entire ML pipeline — data preprocessing, model building, optimization, visualization, and deployment.

✨ Please do checkout my new blackberry, lime image classifying live web app. It is a bit interesting 😅.
