Who am I?
Hi! As you already know, my name is Paarth Kukreja. I was born in India and I'm [age] years old, I currently study at North London Collegiate School in Dubai. I consider myself to be a tech enthusiast with a special interest in web development and data science.
What do I know?
I'm familiar with front-end frameworks such as React.js, Vue.js, and Astro (this portfolio is built using all three of them). Additionally, I have experience with full-stack frameworks like Next.js and Nuxt3.js. Apart from web development, I also have a keen interest in Python-based machine learning and data science.
About the Company

You can watch live TV and stream exclusive content on OSN+, which features offerings from giants like HBO, Paramount+, Marvel, and OSN Originals.
What I'm Doing There
During my time at OSN, I helped make an Image Tagger, that takes an image of the Poster of a TV Show or a Movie and identifies relevant tags for it such as genre, media type, people and objects from the poster. This was done by using a pre-trained AI model from OpenAI (GPT-4o).
About the Non-Profit

What I'm Doing There

Dubai
I've just recently moved to Dubai from Singapore. And I absolutely love the place! I have joined a new school (NLCS Dubai) and made a few new friends. I've explored some malls and the Burj Khalifa, but there's still much more to see. I can't wait to start this new chapter in my life!
Singapore
Having lived over 10 years of my life in Singapore, it has become a huge part of my life. I have so many fond memories, so many friends, and so much more I've left behind. Living on a tiny island 50km by 27km with all sorts of attractions, from UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Botanic Gardens to the World's largest Indoor Waterfalls in Airports, F1 Events on common roads, Gardens by the Bay, and Marina Bay Sands is an entirely different and unique experience of Singapore. The blend of an extremely modern city with centuries-old beautiful traditions like the lunar new year, and its cultural diversity celebrating Indian, western and Asian traditions alike was a different experience entirely. It was a great city and a beautiful country, it will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope I get another chance to live there again!
About the School

My Experience
From Year 2 to Year 10, I've been in DCIS and my time there has been amazing! Over the years, I made many friends and studied subjects such as Computer Science, Business Studies, Maths, English, Design and Technology, All Sciences, and Global Citizenship. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish Year 11 in this school as we had to relocate to Dubai. Nonetheless, this school has given me vital knowledge and helped me become who I am today!
About the School
North London Collegiate School (NLCS) is an International British School with ~1100 students, it is part of the North London Collegiate School Family of Schools. Teaching the MYP Curriculum until Grade 10, and IB DP post Grade 10.
My Experience
Being new to NLCS, I have no complaints. Although adapting to the new MYP Curriculum from IGCSE has been slightly challenging, I've been persevering through the challenges anyway. I have made a couple of great friends, and enjoy the enriching atmosphere of the school. I study subjects like Design, Geography, French, All Sciences, Maths and English. I hope my experience will be as educating and enjoying as my last school!
