About Me: A Story of Curiosity

My passion for Data Science comes from my curiosity in learning how different industries work which can be understood by listening to the stories in their data. I enjoy contributing to business decisions and my main strength lies in being able to bridge the gap of presenting and communicating technical outcomes to non-technical team and stakeholders. I believe in the 4H's for a successful life: Happy, Helpful, Humble and Hungry for knowledge.

When Complexity Meets Clarity

Imagine breaking down complex problem statements into smaller, manageable, executable tasks and compiling them into a final solution. That's my sweet spot. Whether it's identifying hidden trends in data or venturing into generative AI, my approach is anchored in breaking things down to their most basic truths and then building up on those.
