The Short Version

Data meets Mathematics.

I'm an MSc Data Science student at the University of Nottingham, with a First-Class Honours degree in Mathematics from the University of Delhi. I'm interested in the space where statistical theory meets real-world prediction problems.

My recent work spans from building a privacy-first file conversion tool (DeltaConvert) to training LSTM models for currency forecasting (Stochastix), to winning a statistical ML competition by proving that a two-parameter linear model can beat a Random Forest when the data structure is right.

I care about understanding why a model works, not just that it works.
