About

Data-driven.
Backend-powered.

I'm a data-driven builder with a caffeine-fueled passion for data science, backend engineering, and lifelong learning. Whether it's crunching numbers, decoding patterns, or debugging pipelines at 2 AM — I'm all in for the thrill of the tech chase. 🚀

Data tells stories, and I'm here to be the translator. From building ML models that actually behave 🤖 to visualizing insights that make stakeholders go "Whoa!" — I'm obsessed with turning raw data into real-world impact.

I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science with Honors in Data Science from Symbiosis Institute of Technology, Pune. By day I was an Associate Consultant at Oracle Financial Services; now I'm heading to UIUC for my MS in Information Management — Fall 2026.

Databases? All in. MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or a humble .csv — I thrive on surfacing optimized order from structured chaos. Off the terminal, you'll catch me on the football pitch. ⚽
