MS in Data Science (GWU)
BE in Electronics (SVCE)
- I make data talk. Whether it’s cleaning up messy datasets, building AI models that predict the future, or designing dashboards that turn chaos into clarity, I thrive on making data work smarter.
- Data Science + Real-World Impact. Currently mastering the art of Data Science at The George Washington University, I focus on blending machine learning, big data, and sustainability to solve real-world challenges—think climate resilience, supply chain optimization, and beyond.
- Tech Stack? Locked and Loaded. Fluent in Python, SQL, Spark, Power BI, AWS, and automation tools, I streamline workflows, optimize processes, and uncover patterns others overlook.
- Less Time Crunching, More Time Innovating. From predictive analytics to workflow automation, I turn raw data into actionable insights, efficiency boosts, and a few game-changing visualizations along the way.
- Let’s turn numbers into narratives that matter. Because at the end of the day, data is only as powerful as the story it tells.
