What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to apply my data science skills to solve real-world problems while contributing to a collaborative team environment.

I am a passionate and results-driven Data Scientist currently working in the Data Science Team at Jet2 Travel Technologies in data science has been marked by a strong affinity for the fusion of business and technology, allowing me to leverage data to drive operational efficiency and enhance decision-making processes.

At Xpressbees, I developed a 99.2% accurate RTO prediction model that proactively identifies high-risk shipments, significantly improving delivery efficiency. My work on a fuel forecasting project at Jet2 Travel Technologies further exemplifies my ability to apply predictive analytics, achieving a prediction success criterion of ±5%. I thrive on analyzing historical data to uncover insights that lead to optimized logistics and enhanced customer satisfaction.

With a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, BHU, I have honed my skills in machine learning, data analytics, and statistical modeling. My achievements in national-level aeromodelling competitions and leadership in football tournaments reflect my commitment to excellence and teamwork.
