About

Hello! I am Chintan Maniyar. Remote Sensing, Satellite Image Processing and Data Analysis are my allures.

I have always been beseeched by computers - awed by how they do stuff on their own. As I grew up, I had the sweet pleasure of making a computer sensibly do something, and that has been my mission ever since. Apart from computers, I live for Astronomy and our beautiful cosmos, to gaze into its infinty and wonder what lies beyond. Also, I play flutes, try to sing, and tend to rant out through my writings!

Work Experience

Jan 2020 - Mar 2020

Military College of Telecommunication Engineering, Indian Army
Research Intern(Satellite Image Processing)

High resolution multi-spectral satellite imagery temporal change detection.

Dec 2018 - June 2019

IIT Bombay
Applied Research Intern(ML & NLP)

I worked as an applied ML and NLP research intern at IITB, researching on Machine Learning, Natural Language Understanding, Inference and Processing (NLU, NLI, NLP) with word embedding. I sampled more than 5 million tuples of textual data as a part of a weak supervision text alignment problem. I also served as a Project Team Lead and ML Lead, managing a team of 4. My projects of concerns here were Microsoft Venter (classification, NLP) and BDA CIVIS (sub-modularization, clustering and NLI). My developmmental milieus here consisted of native app development in Angular Material, Android and Django.
