About this speaker
I am currently a Data Scientist at Toast, a Boston-based tech company in the POS and cloud-based restaurant management software space. I graduated in 2022 with a Master's degree in Data Science from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. I'm passionate about all things AI, Data and Startups and so my second professional identity is as the lead of the Engineering and Data tracks at Startup Boston Org, where social capital is my currency :)
I am an engineer at heart with my undergraduate degree in Computer Science Engineering. I did some research for Google News in grad school and spent some time at National University of Singapore studying some deep learning prior to grad school. I used to run a software startup during my undergrad days and before my current role, I interned at Toast during the Summer of 2022. Outside of Toast, you'll probably find me doing some Startup Boston stuff, playing badminton at MIT or toying with some weights at Equinox.
I am curious about the advancements in the AI and startup worlds and I try to read up on the latest developments. Since my graduation, I've been trying to educate myself on finance, fitness and badminton. I also cannot survive without listening to Eminem on the daily :)
