Amogh Khaparde

Hello, my name is Amogh Khaparde. I am a machine learning engineer who has a passion for biology, neuroscience, and computer science. I will be graduating from University High School in 2025. I've been mostly self-taught in machine learning and have always wanted to build machine learning models to benefit all of society.I plan to work at OpenAI or Google in order to work on LLMs such as ChatGPT and Sora in order to advance the field of AI with like-minded peers. I've completed research under the guidance of Professor Hochgraf from Rochester Institute of Technology while I completed my 11th grade project and Joe Xiao while I completed my 12th grade project. I plan to continue doing so at college in groups under the guidance of other mentors. While most of my achievements are related to computer science, I still have a passion for neuroscience and biology. After working on "Medical Neuroscience" with Professor Leonard White from Duke University, I want to continue to expand my knowledge and perhaps recieve a degree in biology or neuroscience in order to combine both of my interests in computer science and life science.

Python

Python was my first programming language. I have used it for coding competitions like USACO (USA Computing Olympiad), and its main use to me is in machine learning.

HTML5

I have been using HTML as the backbone for all of my wesbite projects and ideas. I have plenty of experience in HTML, and its functions.

CSS3

I used CSS as the stylesheet for both this website and my Facebook Clone (linked below). I have abundant experience in CSS and can complete more projects as such.

Java

I learned Java outside of school and in APCSA, where I built multiple projects, the most impressive being the Chess game (linked below). As such, I have plenty of experience in Java.

Godot

I have used Godot in my game design class to build games such as Wordle. This is one of the ways I express my creative side.

Tensorflow

Tensorflow is the machine learning library I used to build my ASL to speech interpreter (linked below). I fully understand its functions and capabilities and plan to use it to make more real world applications

Pytorch

I used PyTorch to build my encoder-only transformer model for sentiment analysis for businesses (linked below) and fully understand its functions and capabilities and plan to use it to make more real world applications

PHP

I used PHP to build the backend for a facebook clone. I used it to store user information such as their name, age, friends, posts, etc. I have plenty of experience in PHP and can use it for more web based projects.

Javascript

I mostly used javascript to help build animations for my website and my facebook clone. While I used Javascript multiple times, I am still learning it and will ensure that I am proficient soon.

C++

I used C++ in Leetcode challenges and USACO challenges as I learned to code and built my problem solving skills in computer science.

ASL-to-speech interpreter

Python was my first programming language. I have used it for coding competitions like USACO (USA Computing Olympiad), and its main use to me is in machine learning modules such as Tensorflow and Pytorch.

Facebook Clone

I built a Facebook clone to demonstrate my skills in PHP, HTML, CSS3, and Javascript. The platform stores your data, allows you to post, add friends, see and comment on your friend's posts, add a profile picture, and more!

Computer vision fire detector

The project was the beginning of my machine learning research. I built a convolutional neural network model that will alert authorities when a fire is detected from cameras (that are already installed in most national parks).

Effect of timing of fertilzation on nearby water

This project marked the beginning of my research journey. I experimented with patches of grassland to prove the effects of poor fertilization timing (right before it rains) on groundwater and the surrounding environmnt.

Encoder only transformer evaluate social media comments and inform companies

Worked with another mentor (Joe Xiao) to build an encoder only transformer to evaluate social media comments and inform companies with the information in a quantative manner.

Chess game

Built a game of chess on Java to demonstrate my problem solving skills and creative thinking skills in Java.

Wordle Clone

Built a replica of Wordle on Godot to demonstrate game design skills.
