My name is Purva Kothari, and I am currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). I recently completed a software engineering internship at Meta in Menlo Park, where I worked on cutting-edge technologies and contributed to innovative projects.
Prior to my graduate studies, I worked at Oracle, India as an Applications Developer for 2 years, after completing my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from IIT Guwahati, India. With experience in both industry and academia, I bring a unique perspective and a broad range of skills to every project I work on.
As a software engineer, I have a wide range of interests, including software development, machine learning, computer vision, and more. I am always looking for new opportunities to expand my skills and gain experience in different software domains.
Currently, I am seeking full-time opportunities in software development and machine learning roles. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and create innovative solutions that have a positive impact on people's lives. I am excited to bring my skills, experience, and creativity to a new challenge, and to work with like-minded individuals who share my vision.
Thank you for visiting my website, and please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to learn more about my work or discuss potential opportunities.

Part of Oracle Banking Platform(OBP) team at oracle, division of OFSS. Designed and developed a componentized model with asynchronous/sychronous calls using reflection mechanism for achieving extensibility while integrating various modules in broker origination workflow.
Part of R&D team at Wipro. Implemented Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for Multitrack Sequential Music Generation using Tensorflow.
Completed my Master's in Computer Science with depth focus on Artificial Intelligence from UC San Diego undertaking various courses in software developement and machine learning and gaining a deep understanding of the latest research, tools, and techniques in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
During my undergraduate studies at IIT Guwahati, I had the opportunity to explore my interest in computer science through a minor program. This allowed me to gain valuable exposure to programming, algorithms, and software engineering, which have proven to be invaluable in my current pursuits.
I have a strong interest in open source software development as it allows me to contribute to meaningful projects while also improving my technical skills and collaborating with a diverse community of developers.
I am drawn to cloud computing and distributed systems because of their ability to efficiently manage and process large amounts of data, as well as their potential to revolutionize the way we store and access information in a scalable and cost-effective manner.
I am fascinated by the power of data science in uncovering hidden patterns and insights from complex data sets, and using this information to drive data-informed decisions and business strategies.
My interest in machine learning stems from its ability to uncover insights and patterns in complex data sets, making it a powerful tool for solving real-world problems.
I have a strong passion for web/mobile development and UI, driven by my desire to create intuitive and visually appealing user experiences that combine functionality and aesthetics to meet user needs.
I am fascinated by game development and AR/VR because it combines my passion for technology and creativity, allowing me to create immersive and interactive experiences that transport users to different worlds and challenge them in new ways.
I may spend most of my time coding, but when I'm not, you can find me hiking, doing yoga, or reading a good book - all while trying not to trip over my own two feet.
I enjoy hiking and yoga as a way to stay active and explore the outdoors.
Watching sports, especially football and F1, is a passion of mine that allows me to unwind and connect with friends and family.
Reading is an important part of my life, both for personal enjoyment and to stay current on the latest advancements in technology and society.
Stuff that I really care about! Surrounded myself with so many like-minded individuals that I started to feel like a cluster algorithm.
As a K-12 Coordinator and Board Member for GradWIC, I'm responsible for promoting Computer Science and other STEM subjects to underrepresented communities, with a special focus on encouraging girls to pursue these fields.
On a mission to close the gender gap in technology and to change the image of what a programmer looks like and does.
