The Journey
From India
to New York
Every chapter shaped who I am. A curious kid from India became a product-minded engineer in Manhattan.
The Foundation
Where it all began
India
Growing up in India, I was the kid who took apart every gadget in the house just to see how it worked. School wasn't just about grades — it was where I first discovered that I think differently. Math felt like a puzzle game. Science was magic with rules.
“Built my first website at 15 — a cricket score tracker in HTML that my friends actually used.”
The Spark
Discovering the code
India
Intermediate was when programming stopped being a hobby and became an obsession. I stayed up late writing Python scripts, automating everything I could. I realized I didn't want to just use technology — I wanted to build it.
“Wrote my first Python automation script. Placed in regional coding competitions. Decided: Computer Science is the path.”
The Engineering Years
Building the engineer
GITAM University, Hyderabad
Four years of intense engineering at GITAM University. I went deep — data structures, algorithms, machine learning, databases. But I didn't just study theory. I built real projects, contributed to teams, and developed a forecasting model for cryptocurrency prices using TensorFlow and Keras.
“B.Tech in Computer Science. Built a crypto price prediction model. Completed ML internship at Dhyanahitha.”
ML Internship — Dhyanahitha
Hands-on machine learning with Python: data preprocessing, model development, hyperparameter tuning, and Git-based collaboration.
Crypto Price Prediction
Built ML forecasting model with TensorFlow, Keras, and Pandas. Sentiment analysis + time-series predictions via REST APIs.
The New York Chapter
Leveling up in Manhattan
NYIT, Manhattan, New York
Moving to New York wasn't just changing cities — it was changing the scale of my ambition. Pursuing an MBA in Business Analytics at NYIT Manhattan, I learned to think like a strategist while building like an engineer. Data visualization, statistical analysis, A/B testing, KPI metrics — I added the business layer to my engineering core.
“MBA in Business Analytics from NYIT. Built AI-powered book recommendation system with SVD + GPT-3.5. Bloomberg certified.”
Bloomberg Market Concepts
Certified in financial markets, economics, and data-driven investment analysis.
Book Recommendation System
SVD-based engine processing 1.1M+ ratings with Gradio UI and GPT-3.5 explainability. RMSE: 1.6374.

What I'm building now
Jersey City, NJ
Today, I stand at the intersection of engineering, data science, and business. I'm not just looking for a job — I'm looking for the right problem to solve. I build full-stack applications with AI at the core, and I bring a unique combination of technical depth and business acumen that most developers don't have.
“Actively building AI-powered applications. Seeking high-impact roles where I can ship products that matter.”
Toolkit
Skills & Expertise
Battle-tested across academic projects, internships, and personal builds.
Selected Work
Projects I've Built
Real problems. Real solutions. Every project started with a question and ended with working software.
Book Recommendation System
AI-powered reading, personalized and explained.
Apr 2025 — May 2025
NYIT Manhattan
The Problem
Readers drown in millions of titles. Traditional recommendation engines are black boxes — they suggest books but never explain why, killing user trust and engagement.
The Solution
Engineered an SVD-based recommendation engine on the Book-Crossing dataset (1.1M+ ratings). Built a Gradio interface for real-time interaction and integrated GPT-3.5 to generate human-readable explanations for every recommendation using prompt engineering.
Impact
Cryptocurrency Price Prediction
ML-driven market intelligence for smarter investing.
Mar 2023 — May 2023
GITAM Hyderabad
The Problem
Crypto markets move on sentiment, not just data. Traditional models miss the human factor — social media buzz, fear, greed. Investors need predictions that account for both numbers and noise.
The Solution
Built a hybrid forecasting model combining time-series analysis with sentiment analysis. Developed with TensorFlow, Keras, and Pandas for model training. Exposed predictions through REST API endpoints integrated with interactive frontend dashboards.
Impact
Philosophy
How I Think
Code is a tool. Thinking is the weapon.
Business × Engineering
MBA + B.Tech isn't just two degrees — it's a superpower. I translate boardroom strategy into production code and engineering constraints into business language.
Data-Driven Everything
I don't guess. I measure. From A/B testing to KPI dashboards, every decision I make is backed by evidence. Intuition is good. Intuition plus data is unstoppable.
Craft Over Shortcuts
Clean architecture, thoughtful naming, comprehensive tests. I write code that my future self (and teammates) will thank me for. Quality isn't a phase — it's the default.
Ship, Learn, Iterate
Perfect is the enemy of shipped. I prototype fast, gather feedback faster, and iterate until the product clicks. The best architecture is the one that actually launches.

something great.
I'm seeking full-time opportunities where I can combine engineering depth with business analytics. If you need someone who ships fast and thinks deeply — let's talk.
