Helping teams find the decisions hiding inside their data.

Turning DataInto DecisionsThat Move Metrics

I build analytics tools, ML models, and AI systems that turn business questions into answers worth acting on. I work where analytics, machine learning, and business strategy overlap, building things that hold up in front of executives and stay useful to the people running the business.

Introduction

Overview

I'm a Master's student in Business Analytics at Purdue with about a year and a half of industry experience. I've built dashboards that ran on the executive floor, models that recovered margin nobody knew was leaking, and most recently, multi-agent AI systems that automate the kind of reasoning a finance committee usually does in a room.

10.6%

modeled profit lift on a 1,312-host test set

Built a profit-aware decision rule that, on a held-out test set of 1,312 hosts, would have lifted projected profit by 10.6% by gifting only the 23.4% of hosts where retention dollars actually pay back.

My Journey

Work Experience

  1. Microsoft logo

    Student Intern (Industry Practicum)

    Microsoft

    • Designed a Community Health Score with 4 dimensions (engagement, quality, responsiveness, risk) tracking 60+ open-source projects across Reddit, GitHub, and Stack Exchange.
    • Used sentiment analysis and topic modeling on roughly 80K posts and issues to surface what was actually moving each community up or down.
    • Shipped a Power BI dashboard that flagged 12 at-risk communities for the program team to look into first, saving them several days of manual triage per quarter.
  2. 3E WebApps Pvt. Ltd. logo

    Junior Analyst

    3E WebApps Pvt. Ltd.

    • Owned 6 Power BI dashboards covering sales, operations, and customer KPIs that 20+ stakeholders relied on weekly.
    • Automated recurring performance reports and cut manual reporting time by about 30%, freeing the team for actual analysis.
    • Worked with marketing and supply-chain leads on stock planning, cost control, and loyalty campaigns. The cohort retention work became the basis for the loyalty program rollout.
    • Reorganized KPI definitions across teams so the same metric meant the same thing in every room. Cut the volume of 'why does this number not match' threads in half.
  3. Select Brands Pvt. Ltd. logo

    Business Analyst & Market Research Intern

    Select Brands Pvt. Ltd.

    • Tuned Amazon ad spend across 40+ SKUs and brought ACOS down by about 20% over 3 months.
    • Ran competitor and category research that supported the launch of 10 new self-care products.
    • Found and sized 3 product gaps in the category that the team built into the next quarter's roadmap.
