About Me

As a CS graduate currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in Analytics at Georgia Tech, my primary objective is to help your business make data profitable. My skill set spans across Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, and ML Engineering. If you are seeking a dedicated and results-driven professional who can turn your organization’s data into a strategic asset, let’s connect.

I intend to achieve said objective in a number of ways:

• By developing and maintaining the infrastructure (cloud or otherwise) to make data readily available to the departments that require it for analysis.
• By preparing more robust pipelines that facilitate consistent reporting for upper management decision making.
• Finally, I can create and maintain Machine Learning models that enable departments to make better decisions and operate with more efficiency.

I am rather passionate about the applied data space, especially how modelling and analytics can have a tangible impact to a company’s operations beyond just a proof of concept.
