Siddhi

21, NIT'28 | AI & ML | Desis Ascend Educare | Amazon Future Engineer Scholar | Upcoming SDE Intern @ DE Shaw

[Siddhi @siddhiguptas]

A little intro for the new ones here.

> I’m Siddhi, a third-year Computer Science student at NIT Kurukshetra.

> My journey so far has been a mix of academics, coding, trying random things, and slowly figuring out what I actually enjoy.

> School → 99.4% in 10th → 97.6% in 12th → decided to give JEE → 99.25 percentile → NIT Kurukshetra.

> College is where things started changing.
Started with DSA → got curious about development → started learning AI/ML → built projects → participated in hackathons.

> Along the way, I became an Amazon Future Engineer Scholar and a Desis Ascend Educare Scholar by D. E. Shaw after clearing their selection process.

> Then came one of my biggest milestones so far:
Secured an SDE internship at D. E. Shaw.

> I also participated in Smart India Hackathon and our team secured 1st place in the internal round.

> Tried open source too, including GSoC and other programs. Some worked out, some didn't, but every attempt taught me something.

> Now I'm in my third year, still learning DSA, AI/ML and software development, building things, participating in hackathons and trying to make the most of college.

Basically, this account is me documenting that journey.

@maheshnani122 Hehe lol

[Siddhi @siddhiguptas]

Woke up at 8 AM today.

No alarm. No one calling me.

Just a dream where I suddenly realised:

Only 7 days left for midsems.

My brain really said, “You’re sleeping too peacefully. Let’s fix that.” 🫠🥹
