Data Scientist.
Future CEO.

I'm a Data Science PhD researcher at Christ (Deemed to be University), Bengaluru, specializing in the convergence of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

My research lives at a rare intersection — where spatial data meets conversational AI. I'm building towards a future where anyone can ask plain-language questions about the Earth and receive intelligent, reasoned answers in real time.

Beyond research, I'm a published technical writer making complex GeoAI and ML concepts accessible. Published on ODSC and IEEE Xplore.

I'm building myself into the greatest data scientist of my generation — specializing in GeoAI, spatial intelligence, and climate data systems. Available for remote part-time contracts.
