What I'm looking for

I seek a data science or backend engineering role to build scalable ML applications and APIs, solve social/business problems, and grow within a collaborative, impact-driven team.

I am an accomplished statistician and data scientist with strong foundations in statistical analysis, machine learning, app development, and data mining. I build scalable applications and use data wrangling to extract actionable insights from large datasets.

My MTech thesis produced a Real-Time Fraud Detection System: an ensemble (Random Forest + Logistic Regression) with 92% precision deployed as a FastAPI service. I engineered a FastAPI backend with JWT authentication capable of processing 500+ requests/sec with latency under 50ms.

I have applied analytics in industry and research, developing forecasting models, dashboards, market-research analyses, and statistical models to improve decision-making and operational performance. I also teach as a teaching assistant and have supported students and clients with thesis and journal work.

I lead with a focus on impact and collaboration, demonstrated by my student chapter presidency in the American Statistical Association where I organized events, workshops, and industry collaborations. I am passionate about using data and software to solve social challenges and improve business outcomes.
