Interests
Before NYU, I worked as a Data Scientist at Jio Platforms Limited, where I led the development and deployment of machine learning models for time-series cattle heat detection systems. My work directly contributed to a 4x increase in revenue through smarter agricultural technology.
My technical experience spans:
- Building and optimizing production ML models
- Designing and deploying REST APIs using Flask
- Working with time-series data, semi-supervised learning, and ARIMA models
- Collaborating with teams to ship analytics dashboards
Beyond tech, I’m passionate about ethical AI, tech-enabled social change, and mentoring student developers. I’ve served as a Campus Director for the Millennium Fellowship and led inter-NIT workshops focused on student leadership and innovation.
Currently, I’m looking for Data Science Internship opportunities for Summer 2026 where I can apply my skills, curiosity, and values to make meaningful contributions.
