Hi, I am SBSS Madhav. My professional life is summarized on Linkedin, here is a bit about me.
You can reach me at madhav-at-alum-dot-mit-dot-edu 🙂
I’m curious about the applications of AI, software coding, philosophy, art, music, running, writing in our daily lives.
I have learnt from many people, books, blogs and podcasts. I owe it to them and like to pay it forward.
