Hello! I'm Manish Barath, a passionate and driven Computer Science student at the Chennai Institute of Technology. With a current CGPA of 9.16/10, I am dedicated to mastering my craft while also exploring innovative projects and research. I have hands-on experience in sentiment analysis, machine learning, and full-stack web development, working on exciting projects like Financial Sentiment Analysis using FinBERT and developing a hotel booking app using the MERN stack. I love solving problems and pushing the boundaries of my knowledge. My internship at Chennai Institute of Technology gave me the opportunity to conduct deep research, including publishing a paper that improved clarity by 30% through a comparative analysis of NLP models. I also worked on an email campaign system and a course management web app that enhanced efficiency and reduced administrative workload. Beyond coding, I thrive on competitive programming. I am ranked in the top 3.48% globally on Leetcode and hold a specialist title on Codeforces. I have also participated in global hackathons, such as Codered’25, and have ranked highly in competitions like TCS CodeVita and Meta’s Hacker Cup. As a volunteer, I actively contribute to my community by building websites and assisting in event coordination, including for the Japanese Consulate in Chennai. I’m also deeply committed to social causes, donating blood and supporting health initiatives. Let’s connect and collaborate on exciting opportunities in tech! Feel free to reach out!
