What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to apply machine learning, statistics, and Python to meaningful problems in healthcare, finance, or biological data.

I'm pursuing Biological Sciences and Quantitative Finance at IIT Madras, where I apply machine learning to real-world classification problems.

I've built Random Forest models for credit card fraud and Parkinson's disease detection, achieving 93.4% and 94.8% accuracy respectively. I also developed an SVM leukemia subtype classifier with 93.3% test accuracy using gene-expression data and ANOVA feature selection.

Beyond coursework, I contribute to IIT Madras rocketry projects and lead the Institute Women's Volleyball Team. At Shaastra, I helped grow social media following by 35% and generated 230K+ organic impressions.
