Data science that ships, not just notebooks.

I'm a Data Scientist and Python Developer based in Pune, currently leading development of a DNA-based genomic health analytics platform at DromicsLabs — from raw data ingestion through analysis to AI-generated, automated reports.

My work sits at the intersection of data pipelines, Django backends, and LLM integration — I've wired Gemini and ChatGPT into production systems using structured prompt engineering to turn raw analysis into recommendations a non-technical user can actually act on.

Outside client work, I build my own products — including EmpTracker, a workforce tracking system I now deploy for other companies on their own domain.
