About me

I'm Shlok Kaneria and I am a creator. I have a passion for Machine Learning and AI, and love researching on these topics! Through the years, I have used creative outlets and innovative ideas to successfully create mobile apps, websites and other projects in collaboration with other entrepreneurs. I also love to make films (check them out here), and create art with inspiration from my travels.

With an entrepreneurial mindset and a passion for innovation, I am excited for what the future has in store and where my career takes me. Below are just a couple of the things that I dabble in during my free time. Thanks for looking at my work, I look forward to collaborating soon...

Latest Video

Short films have the ability to evoke memories, connect with an audience, and alter the way we see things. They take us to other places.

I have had a desire to tell stories, and I am never quite satisfied. From the moment I first learned how to click record on a camera, to piloting drones and capturing footage from a perspective unseen from the surface, making movies has become a passion. Follow my travels by staying connected and watching my latest videos!
