I am Pratik Naik, the Technical Head at ASTRA and a BTech student specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Walchand College of Engineering. My journey is defined by a deep passion for solving real-world problems through technology, which has led me to become a 2X hackathon winner and build a community of over 12,000 followers on LinkedIn. I am currently immersed in the world of Generative AI, specifically working with frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, and RAG to push the boundaries of what's possible. I'm always looking to collaborate on innovative projects and connect with fellow AI enthusiasts to explore how we can fundamentally transform industries together.
