About Me

Hello! I am Arnav Kucheriya, a Computer Science and Applied Statistics Student at New Jersey Institute of Technology. I love building projects and programming. I am also passionate about Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. My choice of sport is Badminton, and I love to take pictures with my Canon T05 Rebel; especially scenic and Car pictures. I am open to new opportunities and would love to work with people.
