GenAI Intern · Virtusa UK

I build machine learning and analytics work that feels useful, clear, and ready for the real world.

Based in London. I turn messy data, research ideas, and business questions into systems people can actually use, from computer vision models to end-to-end analytics work.

A practical builder with an analytical mindset.

My path into data was not linear. I began in mechanical engineering, discovered computer engineering through a minor, and ended up fully invested in the idea that data can explain, predict, and improve real systems.

Since then, I have worked across computer vision, business intelligence, SQL analytics, dashboarding, and applied machine learning. What matters most to me is not only model accuracy, but whether the final output is understandable, reliable, and genuinely helpful to the person using it.
