Hi, I'm Kartik Balla

I'm a dual-degree student at BITS Pilani, pursuing M.Sc. Mathematics and B.E. Electrical & Electronics. I'm genuinely curious about where computer science, machine learning, and finance meet, and I look forward to learning how things work at that intersection.

About Me

• Studying at Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani
• I live in Hyderabad, Telangana, India
• Interested in machine learning, data analysis, predictive modelling, and algorithmic problem solving

Skills & Technologies

Programming Languages

Python, C++, C, Java

Concepts

• Data Structures and Algorithms
• Object Oriented Programming
• Data Analysis and Predictive Modelling

Tools

• Git
• AutoCAD

Projects

Minimax Estimator - Statistical Inference & Applications

Researched and wrote a report on the minimax estimator, what it is, how it works, and where it actually gets applied. It was a good exercise in connecting mathematical theory to something more concrete.

Competitive Programming

I regularly participate in contests on Codeforces. It's something I genuinely enjoy.

What I'm Working Towards

Practice School at BITS is, for me, about closing the gap between what I've learned in classrooms and what actually happens in the industry. I want to get better at building software that solves real problems, and to understand how data-driven thinking is applied at scale, especially in domains like ML and finance.
