The Story

I grew up in Nagpur, India - where I spent my formative years playing cricket to state level and captaining my local side. That experience shaped something I carry into everything: I've always been drawn to finding patterns where others see noise.

That instinct took me into AI and data formally. My MSc in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Sheffield gave me deep hands-on experience across deep learning, NLP, statistical modelling and end-to-end pipeline engineering - applied across healthcare, finance and sports analytics.

I then spent a year as a Business Analyst in a commercial environment, where I learned that the hardest part of data science isn't the model - it's earning trust and getting people to act on it.

05 - Beyond the Data

A Hobby That Became a Project

Koffe Nagpur - A City's Coffee, Mapped.

Outside of data and AI, I've spent a lot of time walking through Nagpur's growing cafe culture - ordering the same three drinks (cold brew, iced americano, pour-over) across every cafe I could find, and taking structured notes on pricing, quality, ambience and value.

What started as a personal curiosity became a consumer research project - and then a website. Koffe Nagpur documents and evaluates the city's cafe scene with the same analytical rigour I bring to everything else: consistent criteria, pattern recognition and honest insight.

It also happens to be where I drink my best coffee. Every good dataset starts with good fieldwork.
