Biography

Hi! I am Somu Prajapati, a Computer Science Undergrad from IIT Kanpur. Currently, I am a Core Engineer at Quantbox Research. Broadly, I am interested in anything tech - ranging from randomized algorithms to large scale low latency distributed systems. I honed my skills in building content agnostic recommender systems and scalable APIs while working at T0uch and Mobileum. Though I am finding alignment with systems nowadays, I have always considered myself a jack of all trades, master of none - resourceful, tenacious, and a pro-googler, who is interested in almost anything.

Apart from this, I am a chess fanatic, an average guitar player, and Indian hip-hop enthusiast (binging NAYAAB nowadays). I also love watching animes and talking about philosophy, psychology, money, and startups.
