About Me

I’m a Data Scientist at Varthana Finance, driven by the challenge of finding clarity in data and turning it into impact. I love solving real business problems through analytics, predictive modeling, and AI-driven insights, building solutions that don’t just explain the past but help shape what comes next.

An AI enthusiast at heart, I spend much of my free time exploring emerging technologies, experimenting with models, and building small AI tools and assistants that make everyday work smarter. When I’m not immersed in data or code, I love reading, writing stories on Wattpad, and traveling; each offering new perspectives and inspiration for the way I think and build.
