Committing 100% of my proceeds to Association for India's Development: https://aidindia.org/

Hi there! Connect 1:1 with me over a video call to discuss any of the following topics:<ul><li>How to train &amp; deploy Text-to-speech applications on GPUs as a researcher (I've helped train and deploy Deep Learning models at scale as a Solutions Architect at NVIDIA)</li><li>The variety of job roles at NVIDIA if you're exploring a career at NVIDIA (I've been here 4 years)</li><li>How to navigate grad school and achieve your goals by becoming the best version of yourself! (I came to grad school straight after my undergrad, with no work experience and joined NVIDIA as a data scientist)</li></ul> On a more fun note, we can also talk to me about:<ul><li>How to capture a meteor shower with your camera! (I've captured it around 3 times now).</li><li>How to run your first half-marathon (I ran my first half marathon at the Golden Gate in Nov 2023).</li><li>Experiencing University of Colorado Boulder! If you just got an admit, or are considering applying CU Boulder. (I am happy to share my experience and insights during my time at CU Boulder).</li></ul> All proceeds go to Association for India's Development, Bay-Area chapter. Before registering for this session, please go ahead and donate using this link: https://aidindia.org/donate/, and attach the PDF as you register for this session. If your topic pertains to anything else, I won't be able to provide meaningful help. Thanks in advance and talk soon!Akshit

Senior Data Scientist at NVIDIA, #ForeverBuff

30 mins w/ Akshit

As a Senior Data Scientist at NVIDIA, I help cloud customers train and deploy conversational AI models at scale, using NVIDIA's GPUs and software. I have a passion for speech and audio data, and I specialize in text-to-speech (TTS) algorithms and applications. I have contributed to multiple TTS projects, such as scaling NVIDIA’s Multi-speaker Multi-lingual TTS systems with Zero-shot TTS to Indic Languages.

I have a Master of Science in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder, where I explored and published papers on various topics, such as cognitive science, climate prediction and AI for education. My academic background and professional experience have taught me how to apply deep learning to solve real-world problems and deliver impactful solutions. I am always eager to learn new skills and technologies, and to collaborate with other experts and innovators in the field of conversational AI.
