IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Data Scientist with applied experience in data science and Gen AI. I translate business problems into practical data strategies—then deliver models and insights that teams can act on.
At Cognizant, I build Generative AI enabled solutions and analytics that fit client needs. I’m working on an initial prototype of a Generative AI enabled chatbot, Product Analytics agents, and Generative AI integrated automation, alongside data science execution as a Senior Associate.
Across clients, I’ve delivered end-to-end analytical work—from designing data architecture in Python to building forecasting and analytics models. Examples include an XGBoost model to reduce manual audit effort by prioritizing higher-risk transactions, and time series forecasting using ARIMA/SARIMAX for daily inventory and payment trends with dashboards for stakeholder visibility.
Earlier, I supported real-world ML through Omdena, including hands-on work with real-time geo-spatial data for sustainable agri-food use cases. Before that, at TCS, I worked as a System Engineer / Data Engineer—handling ETL-based data extraction, data validation routines, and production support using Oracle and Excel-based reporting.
