About Me

Hey there! My name is Rahul Baid. I am a final year student in the National University of Singapore (NUS). I am doing my Bachelors in Computer Science, where I am specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Database Systems (currently in pursuit). I am also doing a minor in Statistics to learn more about meaningful analysis and interpretation of data. I will be graduating in May 2021.

I love travelling, hiking, cycling, playing my guitar and randomly reading about different topics in History, Math, Psychology, Finance, Neuroscience, and just generally growing knowledge about different things (I know a lot of random facts).
