About
I’m Saran, an undergraduate student in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at Shiv Nadar University Chennai. I’m interested in building practical, user-focused solutions by combining my skills in full-stack development and machine learning.
I enjoy working on personal projects, participating in hackathons and working on areas to grow my career. I’m always curious about new technologies and look for opportunities to apply what I learn in meaningful ways.
