A Bit About Me
Hi there! I'm Atharv Yeolekar, a Generative AI Data Scientist with a passion for developing cutting-edge machine learning models and big data solutions. I've had the pleasure of working at Walmart Global Tech, Grubhub, and as a researcher in a NASA and NSF-funded lab.
Through this blog, I aim to document my journey of learning and mastering Large Language Model concepts. I'll be sharing insights, discoveries, and practical applications in the form of a blog/journal. Join me as I explore the fascinating world of AI and break down complex topics into digestible and engaging content.
Let's embark on this learning adventure together!
