About

I’m a Data Scientist who enjoys turning messy real-world data into reliable predictions and practical decisions. My work spans statistical modeling, machine learning, and generative AI—whether I’m optimizing conversion rates for e-commerce advertising, building anomaly detection for cybersecurity signals, or improving healthcare claim quality with data-driven classification.

I also love building production-minded systems, from cost-optimized RAG pipelines and scalable anomaly detection workflows to automation that reduces manual processing for operations and finance teams. Through cross-functional collaboration, I translate analytics into dashboards and insights that help marketing, web, security, and product teams move faster with confidence.

Data Scientist (Contract) · Nandi SecurityOct 2025 – Mar 2026 · 6 mos

Architected a multi-stage anomaly detection pipeline (whitelist/statistical/unsupervised) for time-series DNS data to reduce false positives, using FFT to filter noise and reduce computation by 60%. Developed an unsupervised detection layer with an LSTM autoencoder (TensorFlow) using TF-IDF vectorization over 10-minute traffic windows, flagging previously unseen low-and-slow threats via reconstruction-error (MSE). Validated end-to-end logic with a malware traffic simulator injecting 10% synthetic attack patterns, demonstrating reliable weighted-score detection behavior to support production planning.

Data Science Intern · Varmodel AIJun 2025 – Oct 2025 · 5 mos

Engineered a customer-facing Virtual AI Assistant using LangChain orchestration, semantic routing, and RAG to automate initial screening and reduce manual support workload by 80% for GTM and sales teams. Deployed a cost-optimized GenAI pipeline on Azure (FastAPI/Docker) using Hugging Face embeddings and Qdrant to resolve 50% of queries locally, routing to Azure OpenAI only for complex edge cases.
