About: I am currently pursuing my Master's in Information Technology at Northwestern University. I come from an engineering background with a bachelor's degree in Electronics & Electrical Engineering. My first research project was a digital automatic guitar tuner using microprocessor Technology.Following my enthusiasm in the technology, I worked with IBM as an Application Developer for 3 years to gain hands on experience at Software Development and expanded my growth working in various sectors such as Academia, Manufacturing and Retail.After working in different sectors, I gained a lot of interest in how data and analytics can transform a business and gain a competitive edge among others. For the past one year, I have been learning different aspects of Big Data Analytics and working on related projects.My current work includes further Development of Refit as a Lead Data Scientist working with Professor Diego of Industrial Engineering and Management Sciences at Northwestern University, who is also the director of Center for Deep Learning. Simultaneously in my other research project, me and my other colleagues are working on developing an IOT embedded software solution for inventory management and meal planning application.Currently I live with my husband in Chicago, who is a technical consultant working at EY.
