My Story
My USP?
I do not just look at data, I interrogate it. Every dataset has a story buried under the noise, and I am the kind of person who keeps asking what happened, why it happened, and when did the pattern shift until the numbers actually make sense.
The Background?
With a Masters in Data Science from Stevens Institute of Technology and a Computer Science background from Amity University Mumbai, I have built the toolkit to back up that curiosity, from machine learning and statistical modeling to cloud infrastructure on AWS.
What Has That Delivered?
Data-driven cross-selling strategies that contributed to over $10 million in revenue at Motilal Oswal, predictive models that cut data errors by 20%, and algorithmic approaches that improved trading decision accuracy.
The Common Thread?
I have worked across financial services, edtech, and AI startups, and in every role, the thread is the same: dig deeper, question the assumptions, and let the data lead the decision.
Credentials?
I hold certifications in Bloomberg Market Concepts, AWS Machine Learning, and Agile Project Management, and I have published research in peer-reviewed journals.
Beyond the Data?
When I am not drilling into datasets, you will probably find me tracking flight routes on Flightradar24, reading up on the latest geopolitics, or keeping tabs on what is moving in the financial capital markets.
