Hi, I'm Karan.
I'm an indie iOS developer, and an intern at the
Singapore University of Technology and Design.
About Me
I'm 19 and live in Singapore.
I'm an intern at Social AI Studio, a research lab at SUTD.
I build apps for Apple platforms as an independent developer. I have five on the App Store, which have been downloaded over 40,000 times, and two more that are open source and available on GitHub.
I'm an Apple Certified Swift Developer, and I won the WWDC 2022 Swift Student Challenge.
In my free time, I read books, experiment with ML (mainly NLP and CV), research stocks, and cycle by the beach.
