Hello! I'm Shashank Goyal, a passionate Dual Master's student at Johns Hopkins University, pursuing degrees in Computer Science and Robotics. As a results-driven Computer Science and Robotics Engineer, I hope to bring a wealth of academic excellence and research acumen, particularly in AI and Robotics.
My journey is fueled by an insatiable curiosity for the realms of AI and Robotics, and I'm always on the lookout for exciting collaborations and challenging opportunities in this ever-evolving field.
My problem-solving approach is based on scientific methods and technical skills, which I've applied to several innovative projects. I've written about some of these projects in technical blogs.
