Aspiring product manager with a focus on data-driven decision making.
What I'm looking for
I am a B.Tech student in Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, with a strong passion for product management and data science. My journey has been marked by hands-on experiences in various internships, where I have led teams and conducted comprehensive market analyses to identify growth opportunities. My role as a Product Manager at High On Memes allowed me to oversee end-to-end product development, resulting in significant improvements in user engagement and campaign success.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have engaged in impactful projects, such as developing a predictive model for crop disease insights and creating a customer segmentation system that optimizes marketing strategies. I am skilled in various programming languages and software packages, including Python, SQL, TensorFlow, and PowerBI, which I leverage to drive data-driven decisions. My leadership roles in extracurricular activities, such as organizing Asia's second-largest technical fest, have further honed my ability to collaborate effectively and manage diverse teams.
