Chaitanya Sathi
I am Chaitanya Sathi, currently working as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at CrossScreenMedia in Alexandria, VA. I love photography, playing tennis and piano. I truly feel that I am blessed with amazing resources to learn, grow and develop all my life. However, I see so many people in the world who are not so fortunate. Hence, I strongly feel I have a moral responsibility to help and serve others especially the underprivileged. Being away from India, I am most passionate in the cause of providing good education to underprivileged children in India. This passion aligned strongly with Hope for Humanity's Programs and I became involved in the Education Sponsorship program. Seeing the good work of the organization, I volunteered in taking the lead to redesign the website in showcasing work done by the organization. Now I manage the website and other technical aspects of the organization.
