About

I like problems that don't have a clean answer yet — that's what pulled me into data science. I'm pursuing a dual degree at IIT Madras (B.Sc. Data Science & Programming) and IIST Indore (B.Tech Computer Science), one of the few paths in India that runs both at once. Most of my time goes into turning data into decisions: cleaning it, modeling it, and being honest about where a model breaks. A few things I've worked on: Published a paper at ACET 2025 on ensemble learning for cardiovascular disease detection, reaching 94.8% accuracy — the kind of project that forces you to defend every modeling choice, not just report a number. Interned on AI/ML at Fixo , working hands-on with real pipelines and production constraints. Currently building StressSense, an on-device Android stress detection app — end-to-end, from ML pipeline design to a full technical spec (SRS v2.0.0) to the Android architecture itself. Certified in Applications of AI for Anomaly Detection and Google Cloud's data-sharing skill badge. I also have an unusual second track: I've led visual/creative work for IIT Madras's flagship festival Paradox and co-founded a small creative studio which mostly means I'm comfortable taking a messy, ambiguous problem (whether it's a dataset or a deliverable) and shipping something clear on a deadline. Open to data science, ML, and applied research roles especially where rigor and communication both matter
