I guess I am due an #introduction.

Hello folks,

I am Bevan Stanely. I am finishing my master’s from #iisc #india. For my #research thesis, I developed a computational model for a social bacteria #myxo.

I am preparing for a career change to #datascience. The technical stuff in #dataengineering is also quite interesting.

I like it here at #mastadon. It is much more sociable to my comfort. I am looking forward to smaller but more fulfilling networks. I have a lot of interests, so not gonna bore you with a list.

Cheers to new meaningful connections!!
