A letter from Jul 06, 2025

Dear Future Me, I hope this message finds you well, wherever you are in life right now. Looking back, completing the Deep Learning course this semester has been a major milestone. It gave me a solid understanding of key concepts like neural networks, CNNs, RNNs, and model optimization. More importantly, the course helped me develop practical skills through hands-on projects that I can already see will be valuable in real-world applications. I’m proud that I pushed myself through the challenges, and I hope you’ve continued building on that foundation over the past year. As I write this, my goal for the coming year is to keep improving my skills in AI and machine learning, work on meaningful projects, and hopefully contribute to research or practical applications that make a real impact. I also want to stay consistent with learning, whether through personal projects, reading research papers, or collaborating with others. One year from now, I hope you’ve stayed focused, kept growing, and taken tangible steps toward your goals. No matter where you are in your journey, don’t forget to pause, reflect, and appreciate how far you’ve come. Stay curious, stay motivated. Sincerely, Hemanth
