About
I love working in technology. I build, ship and architect AI systems, with over five years in data and AI since my Master of Analytics at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai.
At Kyndryl I take on RFQs, proposals and client consulting, design the AI architecture and ship it. At UPL, as a data scientist for four years, I won a UPL OpenAg Award for my demand-forecasting work.
I also contribute to open source. This year I’ve shipped four AI systems in public, with a fifth in progress.
