Hi, I'm Praneet!
I’m a Senior Research Engineer @ Google DeepMind, working on bringing the benefits of AI to the world. Prior to this I was @ Google Cloud, partnering with Fortune 500 organizations in leveraging Cloud AI tools for their industries.
My goal is to optimize the quality of human life making it sustainable for the long term future. Specifically, I’m personally interested in some of the broader challenges of the 21st century. These include related to climate change, urban pollution monitoring and control, Augmented reality based skill development. I volunteer as an AI advisor for non-profit’s on how we can address these challenges.
I enjoy the intersection of AI and art, and have been dabbling on using GAN’s to generate themes of popular works in the field.
In my free time, catch me playing the percussion, learning how to fly a Cessna 152 and Curling on the ice .

Flying Student: Private Pilot License
I've been taking advatange of the Gorgeous Bay Area weather to finally get hands on in Aviation. A Sunset Landing at Palo Alto from San Jose International airport is captured above.
Curling on the Ice
Please reach out if you want to get involved! We are a group of Curlers in the Bay Area, looking to grow the community.
