Personal Introduction

[Aadit Kamat]

Hi SymPy team,

I am Aadit Kamat, a Computer Science student at the National University of Singapore. I am currently doing a 6 month internship from May to October and helping out with the NUS Orbital program (https://orbital.comp.nus.edu.sg/) both as an Adviser and a Developer. As an adviser, the teams that I am assigned to can inform me of their project status and ask for suggestion as well as advice.

As a developer, I am helping to maintain the NUS Skylab website (https://github.com/nusskylab/nusskylab). I came upon this project as I was looking for Open Source projects to contribute on CodeTriage. To me this is quite an interesting project, firstly because it is the first time time I am using a Computer Algebra System (before this I have used Matlab and Octave for Matrix manipulation as well as tried my hand at numpy for ML applications) and that too one that is open source and secondly because it is hosted as a library on a popular programming language such as Python. I wish to collaborate on this project via GitHub to hone my developer skills and gain more experience with handling medium to large size OSS projects. 

Some personal details:

- Level of familiarity with Python: Intermediate

- Years of programming: 3 years for Python (learn it in 2017 and used it since), 5 years since I learnt my first programming language (C++)

- Some Projects: 

        1) PokerAI: Worked on a poker playing agent running on Pypokerengine using the Deep Q-learning algorithms [Python] (https://github.com/cs3243-project-group-18/poker-ai)

        2) PlanItRight: Worked on the front end portion of a web application built with Node.js, HTML & CSS (hosted on Heroku) to provide web itineraries to tourists [JavaScript] (https://github.com/aaditkamat/orbital-web-app)

        3) CodeToExpress: Contributed code almost on a daily basis for the 2 month initiative to give students exposure to different levels of data structures and algorithm scripting questions [Java/C++/Python/Ruby] (https://github.com/aaditkamat/dailycodebase)

        4) DebtTracker: Developed upon existing desktop AddressBook application to create a financial management application [Java] (https://github.com/CS2103-AY1819S1-W12-2/main)

        5) ScoreKeeper: Single screen Android application developed as part of the Udacity Android Basics course [Java] (https://github.com/aaditkamat/ScoreKeeper)

- Mathematical education level: Undergraduate level. Took some math courses such as Calculus, Linear Algebra as well as Probability and Statistics as part of my Computer Science curriculum

- Algorithmic interests: Took Data Structures and Algorithms courses as well as Analysis of Algorithms course as part of the curriculum. Do a bit of HackerRank, Kattis, LeetCode, CodeForces etc. on the side in my spare time (https://github.com/aaditkamat/online-judge-submissions)

- Geographical location: Singapore

- Native language: Hindi (2nd language)/Marathi(spoken at home)
