YOUNGEST INSPIRATION : TANMAY BAKSHI

What were you doing when you were 12? Playing cricket in the street outside or watching cartoons, when you should have been doing your homework? Meet Tanmay Bakshi. Computer programmer, artificial intelligence expert and all-around tech extraordinaire. He’s developed multiple apps, published a book, hosted a TEDx Talk and spoken at IBM Watson summits around the world including Finland, New Zealand, Denmark and Australia.
He’s true inspiration for all. He has accomplished so much than we can imagine and surprising thing is He’s only 15 years old .

Tanmay Bakshi

When did he start programming? 

He was only 5-years old when he started doing programming.

"If you think about it, really anything would fascinate a five-year-old, especially a computer," Tanmay told

Tanmay's dad Puneet was a computer programmer and nurtured his son's interest right from the beginning. Then he started creating his first programs, such as displaying "Hello World" in the Windows bash command line. Later, he picked up more languages in terms of programming. 

What inspires him? 

Tanmay names Apple co-founder Steve Jobs as an inspiration — "especially his passion and dedication towards his work" — and is now most excited by how artificial intelligence can be used in health care.

What is his daily routine like? 

The biggest advantage he had is that he is home schooled. So he can align his coding with the things he learn. So, if there is a maths concept he need to learn, he uses an algorithm to make an application out of it. he spends around 40 percent of his day in programming.

His First App:

AskTanmay

His love for coding led him to create AskTanmay , which is the world's first IBM Watson-powered Natural Language Question Answering System. This is a first web-based Natural Language Question Answer program developed with the help of Watson. You can right now compare it with Siri or Google Now, but it is really different. He strongly believes in open source technology and has therefore made his projects open source, so that developers from all over the world can add to them. he has placed this on GitHub for everyone to access.

Also he published his first book named as HELLO SWIFT!

His Desires :

AI expert

His desire to implement AI architectures led him to build numerous applications in fields ranging from finance to cybersecurity and education to music and entertainment. Notably, Tanmay's inclination towards implementing AI in the field of healthcare got him working on two of his main projects, which are very close to his heart - the first is focused on helping those with Rett Syndrome so they can "speak" through the detection and interpretation of EEG bio-signals through his machine learning algorithms. The second project focuses on suicide prevention through depression mitigation using Augmented Intelligence.


AFTER ALL THIS….. 

Tanmay loves to play table tennis, cricket, and enjoys biking when the Canadian weather allows for it. He also contributes his time as a Computational Thinking Coach at The 4th Industrial Revolution Organization, as the advisor and lead faculty at Grad Valley Data Science, and the host of his talk series, AI Cafe, and IBM's Watson Made Simple with Tanmay.
