Vivek Pandey's Homepage

Hi, my name is Vivek Pandey. I look approximately like this:

I am a Computer Engineer, with amateur interests in Mathematics and Chess.

For past few years I have developed an interest in running and cycling.

I am married with two noisy kids.

I work at Simpl where I am building high calibre engineering and data science teams. Get in touch with me if you are a developer or a data scientist. If you like some of the topics in this blog, you will like working with me at Simpl.
