Who am I?

I'm Aishik, a Software Developement Engineer building Healthcare AI and systems at ASUS Intelligent Cloud Services Before this, I did my Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) at Nanyang Technological University. My schooling was from The Heritage School in Kolkata, India.

Most of my time is spent in programming, working on fun projects and solving challenging problems. I have an acute interest in the mesmerizing world of data science, AI and engineering. The wonders which technology can produce never ceases to amaze me.

I'm a huge sucker for sports like badminton, swimming, table tennis, cricket and athletics. In my free time, one can catch me watching comedy shows, drinking coffee and playing board games.
