About Me

I'm a data scientist with a deep-seated passion for finance and technology, currently pursuing a Master of Data Science at the University of British Columbia.

My background is uniquely positioned at the intersection of quantitative analysis and software engineering. I hold a dual degree from NMIMS: an MBA in Finance and B.Tech in Computer Engineering, giving me both the financial intuition and technical depth to build sophisticated data-driven solutions.

I build production-grade systems: automated trading algorithms, predictive models for healthcare, and high-volume data pipelines. Focused on data science and financial analytics roles.

Master of Data Science, UBC (2025-2026)

Paper Trader AI

I built a trading system that runs itself. Three strategies compete head-to-head on the S&P 500: momentum, XGBoost, and LSTM. Backtested on 9 years of data, now running live with automated daily trades.

Live results (Oct 2025 – Jan 2026): Momentum leads at +18.65% return (vs SPY +3.94%), 2.04 Sharpe. Paper trading only.
