About Me
Hi, I’m Abinash.
I wasn’t always headed in this direction. I was more drawn to the humanities - especially history. Data science happened almost by accident, but somewhere along the way, curiosity turned into something much deeper.
What began as a simple “let’s see what this is” gradually grew into a serious interest in machine learning, deep learning, NLP, and AI systems.
My journey started with learning C and Python, along with the fundamentals of working with data. From there, I moved into building models, experimenting with ideas, and trying to understand what’s really happening under the hood.
A major turning point was Andrew Ng’s machine learning courses. That was followed by deeper dives through deeplearning.ai programs and Andrej Karpathy’s neural networks material - which completely changed how I think about models. It pushed me beyond just using them to wanting to build and truly understand them.
This blog is where I document that journey.
Here, I write about machine learning, NLP, language models, technical ideas, and project-building. A lot of my learning happens through implementation, so you’ll find project logs, architecture breakdowns, and reflections from things I build along the way.
One of the projects I’m currently working on is neGPT, a small language model built on a historical corpus related to Northeast India. The motivation behind this is quite personal. I’ve spent a good amount of time reading literature about that region, and I was in Guwahati for a period during a summer internship. That exposure, combined with my interest in security affairs and geopolitics, made the region even more fascinating to me. Building neGPT is my way of connecting that interest with my work in AI.
Outside of AI - old habits die hard - I’m still deeply interested in history, geopolitics, security affairs, military history, biographies, and the occasional spy thriller. These interests often shape the kind of problems and domains I’m drawn to.
I’m currently looking for opportunities where I can continue learning, build real systems, and grow through research or engineering work.
