What I'm looking for

I am drawn to positions combining technical work and creativity, like product or strategy roles. I value opportunities to work on meaningful projects, collaborate with teams, and make an impact in a supportive, innovative environment. My goal is to contribute to a company’s success while advancing in my career.

My career journey is just beginning, and I am currently working as an AI Data Trainer remotely, while exploring opportunities to kickstart my professional career.

I am highly curious about roles that combine technical work with creativity, such as product or strategy positions. I enjoy thinking about how tools are used and how they can be improved for better impact. During my college years, I was actively involved in co-curricular activities, holding the position of Vice Secretary of the Sports Council and being a senior state volleyball player. In the vice-sec role, I managed to revive a major inter-institute sports event post-COVID, tackling logistical and financial challenges with my team.

Academically, I have presented multiple research papers at international conferences like ACL and worked on projects spanning data analysis and economic modeling. These experiences have strengthened my critical thinking, teamwork, and adaptability.

I am particularly drawn to opportunities that allow me to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully while solving real-world problems. With a strong work ethic and a passion for impactful work, I aim to be an asset in any role I take on.
