Hi everyone
My name is Vedant Damedhar , a Master of Computer Applications student at Dr. D. Y. Patil Center for Management & Research in Pune, India, with a background in computer applications and software development. I’ve been working with Flutter, JavaScript, and Python, and recently completed a Flutter internship where I focused on building and optimizing mobile app frontends.
I’m really interested in open-source, neuroscience-related tools and plan to apply for GSoC 2026 with INCF, so I’m here to learn more, connect with mentors, and start contributing where I can.
Hey folks,
I’m Siddharth Pilli, currently working as a Data Scientist at smallest.ai in Bangalore. Most of my work revolves around machine learning, deep learning, and speech/video processing.
I’ve worked on a bunch of applied AI projects — from building TTS models and medical coding systems to agentic workflows and computer vision — and I’m really excited to explore the ML + neuroscience intersection more deeply this year. INCF feels like a great place for that, and I’m looking forward to learning from the community here.
Outside of work, I love singing and contributing to open-source whenever I can.
Looking forward to connecting with you all!
