Hi, I'm Parthiv Chigurupati, and I'm a CS student at Cal Poly SLO! I am currently one of the 100 inaugural fellows in the MLH Fellowship program, and I am the only graduating senior in the United States in the program.

I just graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, where I focused on advanced computer science and applied robotics research. In the past, I have interned at Yext where I wrote an A.I. data validation algorithm that helps verify the information for services like Amazon Alexa and Siri. I also interned at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory for two years where I wrote computer vision and machine learning code for the Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites mission (I can't talk about many technical specifics).

Currently, I'm applying to the GitHub sponsors program as someone who is contributing to the fields of artificial intelligence and computer vision. Through the MLH Fellowship, I am contributing to Keras and Scikit-Learn.

These sponsorship funds would help me pursue my passion for coding by helping me cover living expenses and subsidize my college tuition costs throughout my education.
