About Me

Hello,

I'm Aryamaan. I'm an Applied Scientist at Amazon and a graduate in Mathematics and Computing from IIT (ISM) Dhanbad. My work and research focus on Machine Learning, especially Efficient ML techniques like pruning, distillation, and quantization. I'm also deeply interested in Cryptography and Steganography.

Outside of work, I enjoy listening to Indian Hip Hop, watch tv-series and cooking.
