Alexander Nair
I'm a university student studying Computer Science and Mathematics.
My other interests include machine learning, game development, story writing, and Tabletop Roleplaying Games.
Stuff I've Done
-
- Learnt several programming languages (Python, C++, Java, Javascript, HTML, CSS)
- Programmed multiple Machine Learning models for personal research.
- Developed multiple games in both Pygame and Unreal Engine 5.
- Led a Computer Science club in school.
- Been group leader for multiple computer science and mathematics projects.
- Written several stories (both original and fan-fiction).
- Currently Dungeon Master and group leader for two Dungeons and Dragons groups.
Autobiography
I was born in the United Kingdom and was interested in both mathematics and computer science since I was young. I was home-schooled until I was fourteen years old, after which I went to school for my GCSEs and A-Levels.
During my time at school, I discovered Tabletop Roleplaying Games such as Dungeons and Dragons. As an avid storywriter, I enjoyed being the Dungeon Master for some groups, DMing for four in total.
Academically, I purused my interests when it came to A-Levels. I took Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics as my A-Level subjects, as well as an EPQ research as a fifth subject. I did pretty well in all of my subjects and joined university for a course in Mathematics and Computer Science.
Currently, I'm a first-year student moving into second-year. I'm interested in machine learning, so I'm learning as much as I can in order to contribute to the field with my own research. My main interests include questions like "how little data do we need to train effective RNN-based machine learning models", and "can we create a model that can break the current input-output cycle seen in most other models". My dream goal is rooted in helping the development or discovery of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
