About Me
Hello ! I am Aniket Dash. I recently graduated with a degree in data science and completed my data science internship with CropIn.
I have always been in love with stories and how they map thoughts into existence.
My ability to see connections between ideas allows me to view the world through a unifying lens.
Brief History
Till 2018
Born in Sunabeda, Koraput, I wasn’t the top of my class, but I was endlessly curious and that helped me stay above water. I was quite good at all kinds of sports and movement.
2019-2021
After school, I got into OUTR( formerly CET) to study Applied Physics. But I mostly found myself playing guitar in the college band that’s where I spent the majority of my time (and heart).
2021-2025
I eventually dropped out and joined IIT, Madras to study data science. I started to learn to code from scratch, revisited complex mathematics and naturally got gravitated towards deep learning. The realization that a model's ability to learn and adapt is inspired from the human brain acted as a catalyst for me to get deeper into it.
My internship at CropIn was a great experience that allowed me to dive deeper into earth observation. With guidance from Ravikanta Bhargava and Deshwani E, I worked on cloud removal networks and contrastive learning methods like SimCLR for crop monitoring.
As a child, I had a box full of unused gadgets like old speakers, casettes, VCRs, radios, and remotes that I loved taking apart just to see how they worked. That habit of deconstructing things to understand their inner workings has stayed with me. Even today, whether it’s a product or a process, I instinctively break it down to see how it can be rebuilt better. At one point, I even attempted to build an arc reactor because, naturally, building Iron Man’s suit felt like a solid backup career plan.
