About
Data science at the intersection of research and real products
I'm a senior in the BS Data Science program at UC San Diego (minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation) graduating June 2027 with a 3.911 GPA. My work sits where machine learning meets systems that actually ship — Flask microservices for a 50,000-patient hospital platform at ADA, quantitative research at Triton Quant, and the full-stack platform for Gondilal Saraf, my family's century-old jewelry business.
I care more about a model that's honest about its limitations than one with a flashy accuracy number, and more about code that an on-call engineer can debug at 3 a.m. than code that looks clever in a notebook. Considering new-grad applied-scientist, ML-engineer, and SWE roles for summer 2027 onward — especially in health, commerce, or infra. What I'm looking for →
