My name is Darshan Makwana, I am a 4th year UG student at IIT Bombay. I have a vivid taste of hobbies which includes origami, birding and deep learning

I spent my summer in training audio language models for speech transcription, word boosting and NER at Sprinklr. Previously I did my research internship at TUM during Summer of 2023 working on quadruped robotics under Prof Marco Caccamo. I also interned at Hexo AI wherein I got a chance to work on some of the cool diffusion models and llms out there

I update this site every now and then adding some notes, projects and birds to my collections
