About Me
Welcome! My name is Pradeep Pant (प्रदीप पन्त), a proud native of the majestic lower Himalaya (हिमालय). I began this blog in the autumn of 2007 to chronicle my journey and share thoughts on the ever-evolving world of technology. Over the years, it has become a space where I explore ideas, document experiences, and share knowledge with fellow enthusiasts.
By profession, I am a Software Architect and AI/ML practitioner with over 20 years of experience in building enterprise software solutions. I am passionate about solving complex problems and believe that programming is a powerful tool capable of turning imagination into reality at astonishing speed. My expertise spans programming, machine learning, generative AI, and software design & architecture, and I am dedicated to continuous learning and exploration. Currently, I work as an AI/ML & Generative AI Architect at LTIMindtree, while pursuing a PhD in Process Mining and Machine Learning at IIIT Allahabad. My work includes designing scalable solutions, mentoring teams, contributing to open-source projects, and publishing research that bridges industry and academia. When I’m not coding or analyzing algorithms, you’ll find me running ultramarathons, exploring nature, or sharing knowledge through blog posts.
