I am a Trainee Decision Scientist at Mu Sigma, beginning my career at the intersection of data, business problems, and decision-making. My academic background in Computer Science introduced me to machine learning and applied research, including work published through IEEE. Since then, my interests have increasingly moved beyond building models alone towards understanding the decisions that data is ultimately meant to support. Along the way, experiences in research, leadership, and a global leadership programme at the University of Tulsa have shaped how I approach unfamiliar problems: ask better questions, structure ambiguity, and communicate with clarity. I am currently focused on learning deeply, building strong analytical judgement, and becoming better at translating complex problems into useful business conversations.

SDE Trainee | Odisha State Beverages Corporation Ltd. (OSBCL) at Government of Odisha, May 2024 - Jun 2024 · 2 mos, Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, India, I built systems where reliability meant everything. At Odisha State Beverages Corporation Ltd. (Govt. of Odisha PSU), I engineered a Java-based File Management System with 24+ utilities — from Gzip compression and XOR encryption to checksum validation. The system cut manual record errors by ~30% and improved digital record retrieval speed, directly boosting depot operational efficiency. I applied UX principles to design a menu-driven CLI that reduced onboarding time for new staff and made technical workflows accessible. To strengthen my problem-solving depth, I expanded into machine learning fundamentals — regression, classification, advanced algorithms, and unsupervised learning — applying them in small-scale analytics prototypes that validated OSBCL’s operational datasets. Beyond code, I gained ground-level exposure by shadowing depot operations. These site visits revealed how logistics, security, and data integrity intersect in large-scale distribution — experience that reshaped how I approach system design for real-world use cases.
Member - Finance at Kraya & Kuber Society, Mar 2023 - Mar 2025 · 2 yrs 1 mo, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, I joined the Finance Society of KIIT (Kraya & Kuber) to push financial literacy beyond theory into impact. I organized and participated in 10+ workshops and discussions, bringing financial concepts to students across disciplines. I helped structure peer-led knowledge sessions that reached 200+ participants, simplifying topics like budgeting, markets, and investment basics. I contributed to community finance campaigns that improved financial awareness scores by ~25% (measured through pre- and post-event surveys). Networking with professionals and alumni opened collaborations that expanded the society’s outreach to 3 new campus clubs. For me, this wasn’t just finance. It was about applying the same principles that drive business strategy: identify inefficiencies, design structured solutions, and measure the impact.
