Sai Praneth K

Full Stack Web & Data Developer
Hello! I'm CuriousAvenger, a freshman at the University of California, Berkeley, intending to major in Astrophysics and minor in Computer Science. My interests span a wide range, from Astrophysics, particularly focusing on the study of black holes, physical cosmology, and quantum mechanics, to Computer Science, with a keen interest in AI, machine learning, and cybersecurity.

During high school, I was a part of the Varsity tennis team, and I'm also an active volunteer in a non-profit organization called STEM League. In this role, I've had the opportunity to teach coding in data development and web development to around 15-20 students. At the university, I'm involved in the Berke1337 cybersecurity club, which is home to the 0ski CTF team. Additionally, I'm a member of the rocketry club called STAR, known for its extensive and successful launch history in Berkeley. Within STAR, I specialize in Avionics, working on the software side of rocket launches and data acquisition. Feel free to check out my resume for more details about my hobbies and experiences.

What I do

From a young age, I have always been fascinated by the philosophical question: Why is there something rather than nothing? Is our universe real? Is there life after death? Does God exist? These questions prompted me into the field of astrophysics where I found concepts quite unlike what reality is used to: the bending of space and time, the inevitable black hole, and the boundless expansion of the universe. As I delved deeper into this field, I only realized that knowledge is abundant and yet to be uncovered as Sir Issac Newton said, "myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." My passion and curiosity have guided me in doing self-research and studying these topics, as evidenced by my blogs. I firmly believe that the field of astrophysics holds the true purpose of bringing me closer to discovering the secrets of the universe.

Python

For data analysis, I mostly use Python with numpy, pandas, and matplotlib. Python was my game changer as I progressed from simple or intermediate projects to larger and more complex projects.

C & C++

C and C++ were my first programming languages, and they were arguably the most difficult to learn over the course of my ten years. My knowledge ranges from intermediate to advanced.

HTML, CSS & Javascript

HTML, CSS, and Javascript are all examples of markup languages. I learned these programming languages in order to create my own website and to teach other children in a STEM League volunteer program.

Java

Java. Java was taught to me as part of my AP Computer Science A class. I self-studied for this class and received a 5 on the AP exam. My knowledge of object oreientation is extensive.

Keras - AI

Keras. Keras is an artificial intelligence module that works with Python to power several of my projects such as stock predictors, chess bots, real time translators, and speech recognition.

Flutter & Firebase

Firebase and Flutter. In addition, I am the lead mobile and web developer for Vonette Organization, which is creating software to improve communication between students and teachers.

Linux & Unix

Unix and Linux. For the longest time, I was interested in cybersecurity, which led me to learn Linux and Unix systems, as well as the majority of cybersecurity tools.
