Hi, I'm Vanaj. I'm a developer and artist based in London 📍

I'm an alumnus of the University of St. Andrews and I'm an avid software engineer. You can find my resume here.

I'm passionate about design and animation, and I also spend my time creating 3D art, editing videos, making motion graphics and illustrations, and designing user interfaces. I also enjoy music and I play the guitar, bass, drums, and piano (kinda). Additionally, I hold an advanced open water + deep diving scuba certification from PADI.

My favourite musicians are the band Vulfpeck, Andrew Bird, and possibly Bob Dylan; my favourite author is Terry Pratchett; and my favourite colour is #1da7ea.

PolyTab

Machine Learning

A machine-learning model to automatically transcribe audio recordings of solo acoustic guitars to readable guitar tablature built using TensorFlow. This model builds on academic work in the nascent field of using machine learning for Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and utilises a convolutional neural network to learn features from spectograms of guitar audio recordings to automatically produce usable guitar tablature.

Developed for AngelHack Delhi 2019, Aelo is a travel assistant app for which I designed the user interface.

Designed in Sketch and written for iOS using UIKit, Aelo included many features to make planning travel easier, such as a flight-delay prediction machine learning model.
