A little about me

Sanket Dhonde

I'm Sanket Dhonde, a Bachelor of Engineering graduate in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science passionate about building intelligent systems using Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Generative AI.

During my internships at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC)and Vizpay, I worked on research-driven and enterprise AI solutions, including deepfake image detection, intelligent automation, and practical AI applications designed for real-world use.

Beyond engineering, I served as the Technical Secretary of SIES Graduate School of Technology, where I led hackathons, workshops, and technical initiatives, while also contributing as a Technical Leadfor TEDx.

I enjoy turning research into impactful products and continuously exploring emerging AI technologies to build reliable, scalable, and meaningful solutions.
