About
I turn messy data into decisions people can actually use. Right now, I'm studying Computer Science at RV Institute of Technology and Management, but I spend most of my time outside class building things that solve real problems. Like a Python tool that anonymizes sensitive data so companies can share datasets without exposing personal information. Or a file organizer that saved me hours of manual cleanup work—and then I realized it could help entire dev teams stay organized. I'm drawn to projects where data tells a story. Whether it's cleaning up a chaotic dataset, building visualizations that make patterns obvious, or automating workflows that waste people's time, I like finding the signal in the noise. I've worked with Python (Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Seaborn), SQL, MongoDB, and Tableau to pull insights from data—and I'm always learning new tools to do it better. My technical toolkit includes Python, C/C++, JavaScript, Node.js, and Bash scripting. I've built data pipelines, created dashboards, and written scripts that handle everything from data masking to automated file management. I also have a growing interest in cybersecurity and web security, especially around protecting user privacy and securing data flows. I competed in Smart India Hackathon 2025, completed Tata's Data Visualization program on Forage, and finished NPTEL's Python for Data Science course. But honestly, the best learning happens when I'm debugging code at 2 AM or figuring out why a visualization isn't showing what I expected. Outside of tech, you'll find me on the football field or volleyball court—team sports taught me how to collaborate under pressure, which turns out to be pretty useful in hackathons too. What I'm looking for: Entry-level roles in Data Analytics, Data Engineering, or Data Science where I can apply my skills to real business problems and learn from experienced teams. I'm especially interested in roles involving Python, SQL, data visualization, or building data pipelines. If you're hiring or know someone who is, let's connect: arshadalia2703@gmail.com
