About Me
Hi!👋.. I'm Ashok. I'm a passionate Machine Learning Engineer. I started off self-learning the basic concepts of ML and then I wanted to further develop my knowledge and skills in ML. So I pursued MTech in Data Science offered by BITS Pilani. This helped me to learn ML from the ground up in a streamlined manner.
I currently work as an ML Engineer in Zoho's AI Team. I use Deep Learning concepts to solve Natural Language Processing problems such as grammar correction, spell check etc. These features are incorporated in Zoho Writer (a word processing software).
