About

I'm a Computer Science graduate (B.Tech. '26) who likes turning messy, real-world data into systems people actually use — geospatial monitoring dashboards, fraud-detection pipelines, and financial analytics tools.

Lately: mapping urban expansion across 15+ Maharashtra districts for MRSAC on Google Earth Engine, building APGuard to catch payment leakage before it costs a company money, and shipping SentraScope — a live environmental analytics platform at sentrascope.onrender.com.

Experience

MRSAC
Research Data Analyst · Maharashtra Remote Sensing Application Centre
Dec 2025 – Mar 2026
Maharashtra, India

Processed multi-temporal satellite imagery across 15+ Maharashtra districts on Google Earth Engine to map urban expansion over a 5-year window, then built an early-warning module that flags encroachment hotspots via LULC change-detection — cutting analyst review effort by surfacing only high-priority areas. Piped live AQI, thermal-anomaly, and UV data into an analytics backend, and added a natural-language query layer with the OpenAI API so non-technical staff could query the data in plain English.

Dealintra Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
Data Analyst Intern · Review Authenticity Engine
May 2025 – Jun 2025

Processed 50,000+ e-commerce reviews through an NLP pipeline — preprocessing, TF-IDF extraction, model evaluation — to predict review authenticity. Built a review analytics pipeline that identified coordinated manipulation by combining review timing, seller relationships, and linguistic patterns with model predictions, then developed interactive dashboards surfacing authenticity scores, seller-credibility metrics, and suspicious activity for fraud investigation.
