About

I’m Sidhant Thakur, a data scientist focused on machine learning, Generative AI, and large-scale analytics across healthcare, pharma, and enterprise settings. I enjoy turning messy data into clear, decision-ready insights and building cloud-native data pipelines that scale.

With hands-on experience in LLMs for summarization and semantic retrieval, I streamline document-heavy workflows and shorten analysis time. I collaborate with clinical and business teams to move faster and make evidence-based decisions.
