Tanmay Vakare

I make machines smarter so they can make human lives easier. Basically, I’m Machine Learning Engineer/ Data Scientist who loves to work on difficult problems and come up with innovative and creative solutions.

Currently, as a graduate student, I’m pursuing my Master of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Data Science from the University of Texas at Dallas, where I’m working on generating morals for fables.

Throughout my academic and professional career, my primary research interest has been in development of tools and techniques for ML and Deep Learning tasks, primarily NLP and NLU. But I’ve been also involved with projects spanning across various other domains and fields like Computer Vision, Predictive Analytics, and more.

As I’ve been working proffesionally for 3 years now, I’ve experience of working in various domains with diverse technologies. You can read more about my Projects.

I don’t write much but you can find my some of my work in Writings.

In my free time love to watch 📺 anime, play 🎱 8-ball pool, 🏓 table tennis or some 🕹️ video games. Hit me up if you want geek out on any of these things!!
