Introduction

Howdy!



My name is Siddharth (you can call me Sid) and I am a Masters student (starting Fall 2017) in Computer Science, at Texas A&M University. Whoop! I come from Chennai,  a city in South India, where the Texas summer is the norm :). I did my bachelor's there, but most of my schooling in various parts of India.

After completing my undergrad in 2013, I started working at System Insights, a Manufacturing Data Analytics startup, based out of Berkeley. Ever since, I love building large scale information processing systems. During my masters, I hope to delve deeper into this and related areas of computer science.

I took the Sketch Recognition course because of its novelty. It sounds really cool to be able to identify hand drawn sketches, though I am a little skeptical about its applications in the real world. Also I wonder how it relates (or competes with?) to computer vision and image processing techniques. Anyways, looking to gain some new perspective there!
