Hey there! I am Heer Ambavi, I recently graduated with Honours in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Gandhinagar. I worked on problems involving Machine Learning in Natural Language Processing, Information Extraction and Information Retrieval there. I have joined Nutanix as a Member of Technical Staff.

Programming is love! I enjoy creating and debugging stuff in Python and GoLang as well. During my time off my laptop, I also love playing ukulele, and creating art pieces on canvas!
