Hi, I am Praka|

Yuvo

Yuvo is a software company which primarily focusses on Human Resource Management System Solutions.

It was my first experience as an intern in an industrial setting. I was very excited and a little nervous at the same time. But the team at Yuvo were very welcoming and supportive, especially our Head of Engineering made sure my transition from an academic environment was as smooth as possible.

I worked mainly on creating and developing a dynamic conversational chatbot. It's main purpose is to serve as a helper to our clients and their users with frequently asked questions and a few advanced questions with the help of Artificial Intelligence.

Upon completing our project I was able to gain practical application of Natural Language Processing (NLP), and gained experience with IBM Watson and Microsoft Azure.

I also gained knowledge in the field of JSON and JavaAPI's, which serves as a vital component of in our chatbot.
