About

I like turning messy data into decisions someone can act on — that's the thread through everything I build, from fraud models to churn pipelines. Final-year Computer Engineering student at BSIOTR (SPPU), focused on data systems, predictive modeling, and analytics engineering. A few things I've built: Fraud Architecture: A hybrid XGBoost + Isolation Forest model hitting 96.7% detection during a virtual externship. AI Engineering: A Flask-based RAG pipeline with semantic search + speech-to-text translation modules. Business Analytics: A churn analytics pipeline that isolated ₹1.39L/month in at-risk revenue using SQL and Power BI. Core Toolkit: Python, SQL (CTEs, window functions), Power BI/DAX, Scikit-learn, PostgreSQL, ChromaDB. Open to Data Analyst / Data Science internships and full-time roles for 2026-27.
