Hi, I'm Ritu

I'm a Data Scientist with a passion for uncovering insights and solving complex problems through data. With a strong foundation in analytical thinking and technical expertise, I thrive on transforming raw data into actionable strategies that drive results.

As a PMP®-certified professional and Certified Scrum Master, I bring a structured, results-oriented approach to every project. My experience working with senior management has honed my ability to communicate insights effectively and deliver measurable impact.

I'm deeply committed to continuous learning, with a keen interest in unsupervised learning algorithms (like K-Means, DBSCAN, and GMM) and in building AI-driven products that bridge data, technology, and human understanding.

When I’m not immersed in data, I’m usually exploring new ideas, reading, or diving into the ever-evolving world of technology.

What I Do

I build data-driven solutions that merge analytical thinking with real-world impact. My work spans the full data science lifecycle — from data collection and cleaning to model development and deployment.

I enjoy designing end-to-end machine learning pipelines using tools like Python, Pandas, Scikit-learn, PySpark,and SQL. I also explore cloud-based workflows using Google Cloud Dataproc and AWS for scalable computation.

My current projects include interactive dashboards built with Streamlit, AI prototypes using Hugging Face and LangChain, and exploratory studies on mental health data through clustering and NLP.

Who I Am

I'm currently pursuing my MSc in Data Science, with a vision to advance into a PhD focused on applying Artificial Intelligence in Mental Health. My journey combines analytical problem-solving with a deep curiosity for how data and intelligent systems can help understand and improve human well-being.
