Hi, I'm Arjun!

Hi, I'm Arjun!

I interned at a small-ish startup last summer (~150 people), where I had the experience to design and develop an NL search pipeline, using LLMs and vector search to translate English queries into our proprietary query language. I learned a lot about the design process, and how to deploy my project into production.

I'm taking this course partly because it's a requirement but also because I'd like to learn more about working with a large codebase, something I've struggled with in the past.

Outside of school, I love playing the piano, cello, and guitar, listening to all sorts of music, and seeing concerts! I also own too many legos.

@arjunw Hey Arjun, how'd you get into Guitar? I've always wanted to but I found it difficult to learn. I even have a guitar sitting at home but I don't touch it.

That's so many instruments! What's your favorite musical piece or genre to play?

[arjunw]

@pkafley it can be hard! I think for me it was a little easier since I already knew how to read music through piano/cello, but besides that, I think just picking some easier acoustic pieces and learning with a youtube video helped a lot

@pbortey depends on the instrument! on the piano I play tons of rock covers (Pink Floyd, the Beatles, etc), on the cello only classical though sometimes I do covers of film scores, and on guitar mostly rock
