About me

I’m Pranav, a Product Manager specializing in Ads and AI/ML technologies, a voracious reader, fitness enthusiast, and a passionate fan of manga and anime.

My career has been defined by a relentless pursuit of innovation in the ad tech sector, leading teams at Rakuten to create cutting-edge advertising solutions. We've significantly improved user engagement and ROI through advanced AI/ML technologies, including a Hybrid LSTM model and optimized ad placements.

In 2023, my reading journey was as diverse as my professional pursuits, from Bill Bryson’s fascinating exploration of "The Body" to the enthralling crime series by Holly Jackson. My love for reading extends to manga, with "One Piece" being a particular favorite, and anime, where I immerse myself in the creativity and storytelling of top series.

Staying fit is another core aspect of my life, integral not just for physical health but for maintaining mental clarity and resilience. My academic background in Statistics and Computer Science has been the foundation of my career, but it's my projects that truly highlight my skills and passion for technology. From solving Sudoku with deep learning to creating immersive gaming experiences through hand-gesture recognition, each project showcases my ability to innovate and solve complex problems.

This website is a reflection of my professional achievements, personal interests, and the values I cherish. It's about my journey in technology, my adventures in reading and fitness, and my continuous quest for knowledge and excellence. Welcome, and I hope you find something here that inspires you.
