About Education Experience Research Projects How I Build Beyond Classroom Certifications & Appreciation

Hey, I'm

Nitaanth

MUKESH PATEL SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT & ENGINEERING · NMIMS

I'm Nitaanth, a final-year B.Tech Data Science student at NMIMS with a genuine curiosity for technology, problem-solving and understanding how things work. I'm particularly passionate about AI, Machine Learning, Computer Vision and GIS, and I love exploring ideas that bring these fields together in practical ways.

Outside academics, cricket has always been a big part of my life, both as a player and as someone who enjoys the competitive side of the sport. I also enjoy travelling, exploring new places, following technology and constantly picking up something new. I'm someone who likes experimenting, asking questions and learning by doing, whether that's building a project, working on an idea or stepping onto a cricket field.
