Hello 👋🏼. This is my home on the internet 🏡. I want it to be simple, but I want to use it as my playground. I like to follow my curiosity so this will be a organised mess!

I'm Vatsal Sharma, a Software Engineer living in Toronto.


I'm very enjoy to learning about new things and trying out different things in life and in professional space. I truly believe that one should never stop learning.


My goal is to solve complex real-world problems via big data that are data-driven. I'm passionate about Computer vision, Software Engineering, and Machine Learning techniques. An engineer that has passion for code and designs for fun. I work across range of technology including Data Science, Computer Vision and Blockchains. I have experience working from start-ups to conglomerates.


Besides programming, I'm also into football, tennis and chess. I also do astro/photography in my leisure. Also, I love reading and movies.

Feel free to reach out if you have anything to talk about, you can reach me on vatswork10@gmail.com or on other socials.

January 2021 - April 2021
Data Science Intern
I secured my first internship before my sophomore year, where I played a key role in developing end-to-end pipelines for insurance use cases, specifically in Risk Management and Claims Intelligence. Notably, the model I contributed to was stress-tested during Hurricane Irma in 2017, providing valuable insights into its performance under extreme conditions. I gained hands-on experience in risk assessment and insurance, performing feature engineering and cleaning raw data to improve model accuracy. Leveraging tools such as NumPy, pandas, Plotly, and scikit-learn, I developed algorithms and created insightful data visualizations using Python, further enhancing decision-making capabilities within the team.
