Say Hi!

I’m someone who’s deeply passionate about data and everything it powers. My current focus lies at the intersection of data engineering, machine learning, and quantitative analytics. I’m always eager to work on impactful problems, collaborate with sharp minds, and push the boundaries of what’s possible with data. Looking for exciting opportunities to work and collaborate with bright minds and explore the world of data together.

If you're embarking on an exciting project or seeking fresh perspectives, don't hesitate to reach out via Mail or Whatsapp.  I'm always eager to connect, exchange ideas, and explore new avenues of exploration and growth together.



About this site

Welcome to my home on the internet. This site functions as a blog/portfolio, a place to share code and thoughts. Opinions of my own.

I learnt how to build this site from the most awesome people in the community:

Experience
