Description

Hey, I’m Hitesh 🙂

I’m a Computer Science graduate student in Taiwan, working with AI, ML, and LLMs (yes, I do talk to machines, but I’m very human). I’m originally from Rajasthan, India — one of the most cultural and beautiful states in the country — and I come from a royal family background, which basically means I grew up with good stories and even better food.

I have an engineering degree and did a cloud computing internship at Asia University under the Dean in 2023. I worked as a software developer for Virgin Voyages in 2023–2024, and I’ve been living in Taiwan for the past two years. Right now, I’m a software developer intern at Taiwan’s most famous and number one traditional company (no suits and ties required, thankfully).

Back in India, I was a trip captain for a very well-known travel company. I’ve led 50+ weekend and long trips and handled 500+ people — all strangers at first, all friends by the end. I planned everything from sightseeing and stays to food, travel, and activities, and also managed content creation and blogging. The company now has 100k+ followers on Instagram, so yes, the plans worked.

Volunteering-wise, I spent a month on Xiaoliuqiu Island in Taiwan, helping with tech work, website updates, bookings, front desk duties, guest interaction with people from all over the world, local itineraries, cooking, coffee, and daily operations — plus a lot of swimming between tasks.

I love cooking and I’m vegetarian. I make great Indian and Italian food and was even trained in gelato and coffee making by an Italian couple in Auroville (dangerous knowledge, I know).

I’m outgoing but calm, very hygienic, I work out, and I meditate regularly. I’m experienced in guided meditation and can run meditation sessions. I’ve practiced Sudarshan Kriya and Sahaj Samadhi, and I strongly believe mental health should always come first.

I can help with website creation and maintenance, social media marketing, automations, blogging, vlogging, SEO, photography, and videography. I can also build websites or vlog pages for hostels, hotels, eco-homes, or experiences — in your own language.

I’ve traveled across most of India, Hong Kong, Macau, and Malaysia. I enjoy gardening, animals, climbing, trekking, hiking, and teaching. I’m fluent in English, speak basic Chinese, and can speak six Indian regional languages. I love telling stories, listening to other people’s stories, self-improvement, and I can even teach AI and coding to kids.

Oh, and I’m also a recipient of one of Taiwan’s most prestigious fully funded Master’s scholarships — one of only 45 people selected across Asia (still feels unreal).

I’m technically skilled and work as an AI engineer, with experience in building and improving websites, digital tools, and online systems.

What else ...

I’m easygoing and enjoy living in shared spaces. I like reading (non-fiction and philosophy), listening to music, and painting in my free time. I enjoy organizing spaces, planning small activities, and keeping things tidy. I’m vegan and happy to share or cook simple plant-based meals. I also enjoy board games, long walks, and meaningful conversations with people from different backgrounds. I’m respectful of house rules, value clear communication, and always try to contribute positively to the environment I’m part of.
