About Mr. Pareek
"We see with our brains, not with our eyes." - said the Neuroscientist Paul Bach-y-Rita.
This profound quote from the book: The Brain That Changes Itself, introduced me to the astonishing world of "neuroplasticity" and permanently altered the way I understood mind, human nature, and human potential. This interest led me to pursue a master's in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning and seek ML roles in the field of Cognitive Sciences and Intelligent Systems (Co-founder/ Machine Learning Engineer: Prism Technologies); Machine Learning Engineer : Texas Biomedical Device Centre)
I am passionate about solving problems in the field of Brain Sciences by writing Intelligent Software Systems that empower individuals to improve their well-being by improving their minds.
Prior to working as a Machine Learning Engineer, I worked as a Senior Business Analyst at a Fin-tech start-up, Fxkart.com) in India. As an Analyst, I spearheaded the development of an Auto-Insurance Robo-advisory service. Earlier, I was working as a Junior Scientist at one of the premier research institutes in India, the Indian Institute of Science on Biomechanics, where I co-authored a publication in a peer-reviewed journal, the Royal Society of Chemistry - Advances.
