Profile

I'm a Business Analyst from San Francisco, CA. I aim to uncover atleast a few secrets hidden under the mountains of data with my work.

Originally from India, I began my analytical career as a Data Scientist in the world’s largest pure-play data analytics company, Mu Sigma. There I worked with the retail industry, working mainly on assortment planning and Market basket analysis. Also leveraged Python/Django for creating web applications for enabling data-driven range optimization and pricing decisions. Currently pursuing a Masters in Business Analytics at the University of California, Davis, set to graduate in August 2020.
