ABOUT

Who I am

I'm a Data Science undergraduate at IUST, Jammu & Kashmir, with a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Engineering, and Applied Statistics.

Alongside my BSc, I'm pursuing a BA (Hons) in Economics from IGNOU — specifically to strengthen my grasp of econometrics, analytics, and quantitative decision-making. I believe the convergence of data science and economics is where some of the most impactful work happens.

I enjoy combining mathematics, programming, and real-world problem solving to build applications that create meaningful impact. My current focus is on Python, data engineering, statistics, machine learning, and modern AI systems.
