About Me
I am a Virginia Tech Alumni with a major in Business Information Technology and a concentration in Decision Support Systems, passionate about leveraging data and technology to drive business growth and innovation. During my time as a Supplier Quality Intern at Boeing Defense, Space & Security, I designed and implemented interactive Tableau dashboards that showcased key performance indicators (KPIs), enabling data-driven decision-making for Site Supplier Quality Teams. Prior to that, at State Farm, I analyzed customer demographics data using the Salesforce platform to identify target customers for insurance campaigns, helping refine marketing strategies and improve campaign effectiveness. My technical expertise includes proficiency in Python, SQL, Tableau, Excel, and Web Development (Flask, HTML, CSS, JavaScript), complemented by hands-on experience building data-driven solutions. One example of this was leading the development and deployment of DineSmart, a dynamic restaurant recommendation system for Marriott International, where I used Flask and Python to enhance the user experience for Marriott guests. During my Technology Commercialization Fellowship, I created an AI-driven patent analysis tool, transforming complex datasets into actionable insights for business and technical decision-making. Outside of tech, I founded the Bollywood Club at Virginia Tech, building a vibrant community that brought together hundreds of students through cultural events, leadership, and outreach. I’m passionate about helping organizations unlock the full potential of their data and technology. Open to opportunities where I can combine my technical skills, analytical mindset, and business acumen to deliver measurable and high impactful results.
