My Philosophy & Approach

I work where Data, Dreams, and Dharma intersect, turning raw information into responsible innovation.

Data grounds me: I frame questions with precision, gather clean evidence, and iterate until insights are elegant and reproducible.

Dreams propel me: I pursue bold ideas that can blossom into products, publications, or tangible social good.

Dharma guides me: every experiment is checked for fairness, privacy, and real-world impact so algorithms uplift rather than marginalize.

In teams I share context early, listen deeply, and celebrate collective wins. Continuous learning is my daily ritual—papers with breakfast, prototypes after class, and treating every failure as tuition for future mastery.

Goals & Aspirations

I'm currently completing my M.S. in Data Science at RIT while honing deep MLOps expertise so I can deliver production‑grade LLM and computer‑vision solutions that translate directly into business value.

Guided by my Data + Dreams + Dharma philosophy—rigorous evidence, bold imagination, and principled governance—I ensure every model I deploy is bias‑audited, privacy‑respecting, and aligned with measurable social or customer outcomes.

I multiply impact through community: mentoring under‑represented students in data science, running internal ML brown‑bag sessions, and sustaining the endurance and mindfulness habits that keep me a resilient, empathetic teammate when deadlines loom.
