Hello there! My name is Mithilesh Vaidya.
I am an AI Researcher at Descript.
I graduated with a Master’s in Computer Science from GeorgiaTech.
I am broadly interested in the fields of Machine Learning, Speech Processing and Computational Neuroscience.
I plan to use this website as a medium for sharing my projects and other random thoughts.
If in a hurry, you can have a look at my CV.
I blog about my experiences here.
