About Me

I'm a passionate Data Scientist from Kerala, India, with over 6 years of experience in machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence. I specialize in building predictive models, natural language processing, computer vision, and turning complex data into actionable insights. My research has been published in leading AI conferences, and I've led data science teams at Fortune 500 companies. With a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics, I help organizations leverage data-driven decision making. When I'm not analyzing data, you'll find me contributing to AI research, mentoring aspiring data scientists, or exploring the beautiful backwaters of Kerala.
