I hold a Master of Science degree in Business Analytics from the University of Connecticut and a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from India. To further deepen my expertise, I have completed certifications in Generative AI and Natural Language Processing through Coursera. Over the past several years, I have worked as a data science leader in both large financial institutions like Citibank and high-growth startups in New York City. My career has been grounded in applying data science and machine learning to solve real-world business problems, leading teams, and delivering scalable solutions.

In addition to my professional experience, I have mentored and taught data science and analytics concepts to a wide variety of audiences. I’ve conducted one-on-one tutoring sessions with junior data scientists, analysts, and interns, helping them strengthen their technical skills and confidence. I’ve also explained complex technical topics like LSTM networks, RAG pipelines, and statistical modeling to non-technical colleagues and senior stakeholders in clear, accessible language. My teaching style involves using analogies, visualizations, and real-world examples, which my mentees have found memorable and easy to apply. Several colleagues have even adopted these analogies in their own presentations. I’ve taught online sessions to live audiences of over 400 participants, focusing on topics such as machine learning, statistics, Python, SQL, data visualization (including Tableau), and the latest in Generative AI and Prompt Engineering.

My approach is practical, engaging, and tailored to the learner’s background—whether they're beginners or professionals looking to transition into data roles. I bring both the technical depth and communication skills necessary to help students truly understand and apply what they learn.
