About me

Curious by nature,
analytical by choice.

I'm a Computer Science graduate student at NC State University, building a specialization in data analytics and machine learning. I find genuine joy in the moment when a messy dataset finally tells a coherent story โ€” whether that's uncovering a $14.87B budget anomaly in government data or spotting that Jasprit Bumrah's economy rate is quietly exceptional.

I've always believed the best skill you can have is knowing how to learn fast. New tool, new domain, new challenge โ€” I don't wait to feel ready, I just start. Adaptable by nature, relentless by choice.

A few things about me โœฆ

๐ŸŽฌStudio Ghibli for the warm feelings, Pixar for the existential crisis. Both are necessary. Neither is optional.
๐Ÿ“บLate night series binger and apparently a late night dashboard builder. Both equally valid.
๐ŸŒŠSwimming is my favourite hobby โ€” the one place I can't check my laptop.

E-Commerce Analytics

Olist E-Commerce Funnel & Performance Analytics

Analyzed roughly 100K orders from Olist's Brazilian marketplace (2016 to 2018), answering five real business questions with multi-table SQL joins across a 9-table relational schema. Every finding ends in a specific, testable recommendation, not just a chart.

  • Traced a North/Northeast logistics penalty: freight ran ~23% of item price in the North vs ~15% in the Southeast
  • Found the orders most likely to earn low ratings (long-and-late deliveries) were ~4x more concentrated in the North/Northeast, pointing to one regional root cause
  • Built on a real 9-table PostgreSQL schema with foreign-key constraints and genuine joins, not a flattened CSV

Yelp Product Teardown

An end-to-end teardown of Yelp's local-discovery experience from an international student's perspective, identifying where the product breaks down and what to do about it.

  • Mapped the end-to-end user journey for local discovery, surfacing friction points across search and decision-making for international students and cross-border users
  • Identified a structural gap affecting a specific, underserved user segment, not just surface-level UX friction
  • Proposed 5 improvement initiatives, each RICE-scored and tied to a measurable success metric
Background

Education & Certifications

I pick my courses on purpose. Statistical Models for System Analytics keeps my math sharp, so I understand why a model behaves the way it does and not just that it works. Trustworthy AI got me thinking about whether a model is fair and whether it should even ship, not only whether it's accurate. And Intro to Product Development pulled me out of the notebook and into how data actually turns into something people use. These weren't random electives. They're the space I want to work in: turning analysis into decisions, as a data analyst or product analyst.
