What I'm looking for

Looking for a role where data is at the core of decision making. I want to work on real problems, keep learning, and be part of a team that values curiosity and good thinking. A collaborative environment where I can grow as an analyst and contribute meaningfully from day one.

At ICAR-NIAP, I work with unstructured government survey records from 3,000+ farmers across 2 states. No clean datasets, no instruction manual. Just real data that needs to make sense.

I've since built projects covering churn prediction on 150K+ transactions, revenue forecasting, RFM segmentation, and credit risk analysis — because I wanted to prove I could do this in a business context too.

National level chess player. The game taught me to calculate 20 moves ahead, stay calm under pressure, and never get overconfident. Turns out those are the same skills that make a good analyst.
