Office of Data Science and Operations is a research lab at USC Marshall School of Business where I am working with Professor Sriram Dasu to develop solutions for business projects.
What I did at Marshall:
1. Collaborated with business students studying with Professor Dasu to develop solutions for their projects that revolved around real world problems
2. My project included developing a platform for farmers in Indonesia / India to help them manage their cattle's health
3. I also worked on building a tool for firefighters—something that helps visualize how a fire could spread in a given area, especially if a spark happens along transmission lines. The goal is to show which zones are most at risk and help teams decide where and how to act fast.
4. Both projects are still in progress, and I’ll share more once they’re polished. The current images are just rough drafts to give a sneak peek.

In my third year of college I interned at Salahkaar Consultants, where I worked on this project called HappyPerformer where I had to develop features of a HR website. So I made customizable forms for the HR.
The HR can create various forms (simultaneously) to take review and feedback from the employees.
The HR can also choose which employees to send the forms to and can view their
responses.
Furthermore, The HR can make letters (offer letter, transcription letter, etc) and
allocate them to employees similar to forms.
Another project I worked on at Salahkaar Consultants was ManageJob wherein I had to integrate my custom forms again. ManageJob lets a recruiter post jobs to find job-seekers. And job-seekers can find jobs here.
While posting a job, a recruiter must make a form to ask for details of the job-seeker. And the
recruiter must later be able to view the responses if any.
Alongside, I also helped with multiple other tasks to complete the project!

Backend Developer / Full Stack Developer
Graduate student at USC
India (F1 status in the US)
My journey started as an artist. During the pandemic, I found myself drawing digital art to post on Instagram. Eventually I wanted to build a portfolio website for it. Given my background in CS, I started with HTML and CSS to make my very first website to display my drawings. That was when I realized I love developing websites! Over the years, I built more websites while up-skilling to frameworks like React and Angular. When I bought my first MacBook, I dove right into developing my very first iOS application, and it was a true revelation for me! I want to keep designing and building because it makes me the happiest.
Classes I have taken at USC:
What I do
Curry Ninja
I developed a website to display my art: Curry Ninja (my stage name hehe). It is a simple HTML and CSS script displaying most of my drawings, which is my hobby!
I drew these :D
