About
Currently pursuing a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Southern California, I'm also a Database Assistant at the same institution, where my core competencies include database management, SQL, and optimizing queries for event management. My education at the University of Mumbai laid the groundwork for my technical expertise, particularly in computer software engineering, which I've applied in professional settings to enhance code efficiency and database system performance. The role at USC has allowed the team and me to implement a new database system that improved processing time and code efficiency significantly. My previous experiences, such as the ML internship at EduSkills Foundation, involved leveraging machine learning algorithms and AWS tools to enhance prediction accuracy and optimize models. At Sahu Technologies, I automated data workflows, underscoring my commitment to efficiency and attention to detail. These experiences have honed my skills in Python, data processing, and machine learning, enabling me to contribute positively to our organization's culture with a diverse perspective and a collaborative approach.
