About

I’ve always been a little more interested in the question behind the question. Why does a product work the way it does? Why did a feature become a great hit? Why was it built in the first place? Why do people use it differently from how we expected? Why does a business make a decision that seems obvious until you look closer? I like pulling those threads. I'm more interested in understanding why something is done than simply how it's done. I like collecting perspectives :) My curiosity and love towards tech is probably why I went into Computer Science, but also why I never stayed entirely inside the code. I like understanding how things work, but I found myself more interested looking beyond the code, questioning assumptions, ideating solutions and connecting dots across users, technology, business, and data, and trying to figure out what actually matters before jumping to a solution. I've explored that mindset throughout my work. I've built things, worked with data, explored machine learning, studied customer behaviour, and taken apart products I didn't build just to understand the decisions hiding underneath them. I also led a team from identifying a problem and shaping an idea to deciding what was worth building, assigning work around our strengths, and driving it through execution. When it came time to put that work in front of people, we ended up winning two awards. Somewhere along the way, I realised the part I enjoy most isn't simply making something work. It's figuring out what is worth making work in the first place. That's what keeps pulling me toward Product Management. That's the space where my interests reside, asking why before how, ambiguity before answers, questions before assumptions, and insights that lead somewhere. I'm currently looking for opportunities where I can learn from people who build, question, and solve, while contributing my own perspective at the intersection of technology, products, business, and data. TL;DR: Curiosity got me into tech, but the questions it left behind are taking me somewhere else, towards the kind of work that makes people stop, stare, and wonder "Wait, how did someone come up with this?" Thank you for reading my monologue. Since you're already here, check out my projects they're fun! Still curious. Still pulling the threads. Prajwal :)

Work experience

Data Science Intern at Take it smart (OPC) Private Limited, Feb 2026 - May 2026 · 4 mos, Bengaluru, Worked through end-to-end machine learning problems with a focus on understanding what the data was actually saying, from EDA and preprocessing to model training and evaluation. Applied those learnings to projects such as Burnout Prediction, turning open-ended problems into structured analysis and practical machine learning solutions. Strengthened my foundation in Python, SQL, and data-focused machine learning, while learning to question assumptions, model choices, and conclusions rather than accepting them at face value.

Data Analyst at Skillbit Technologies, Feb 2026 - Apr 2026 · 3 mos, Remote, Completed a remote, self-paced internship focused on applying data analytics and machine learning concepts to practical projects, with an emphasis on turning raw data into interpretable insights. Built IronView AI, a sentiment intelligence system that retrieved real-time news data through external APIs and analysed sentiment to surface trends, keywords, and changes in public perception over time. Worked across the analytical workflow from data retrieval and preprocessing to sentiment analysis and insight visualisation, strengthening my practical understanding of Python, data analytics, APIs, and machine learning. The experience strengthened how I approach data: not just identifying what is happening, but looking for the patterns and context that help explain why.
