What I'm looking for

I'm looking for data and analytics roles where I can build AI-powered pipelines, real-time data systems, forecasting models, and executive dashboards that help cross-functional teams make faster, measurable decisions.

At Worcester Commons, I build AI-powered forecasting, real-time ingestion, and self-serve reporting systems for dining operations. My Python demand prediction pipeline achieved 82% forecast accuracy and helped reduce food waste by 18%, while Kafka, AWS Lambda, and Redshift reduced data latency to under five minutes.

Previously at Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, I built Snowflake and dbt ETL pipelines processing 8M+ daily transactions, customer segmentation models for 2M+ records, and an early-warning system that flagged potential defaulters 60 days ahead with 84% accuracy. I also delivered a Power BI analytics platform serving eight business units and helped reduce NPAs by 18%.

I'm completing an MS in Business Analytics at UMass Amherst and use Python, SQL, dbt, Snowflake, AWS, machine learning, and BI tools to turn complex data into actionable insights for Risk, Finance, Operations, and leadership teams.
