About Me
I believe the right question, paired with the right data, can change everything. With a foundation in engineering and 3+ years at Infosys working across SQL-based data reporting, ETL pipelines, and enterprise system analytics, I've developed a sharp intuition for where data breaks and where business decisions can be sharpened.
My work sits at the crossroads of technical rigor and strategic storytelling — turning raw, noisy datasets into insights that stakeholders can act on immediately. I'm now channeling that experience into a focused pivot toward Business Analytics & AI at the University of Colorado Denver, where I'm particularly drawn to how machine learning models can operationalize business strategy.
