Happy Chhata Puja! Celebrating Bihar's harvest festival & gratitude to Surya Dev 🙏

Hi, I'm Ritu Raj

Data Science student • BS at IIT Madras

Currently completing diploma. I enjoy turning data into insights and building practical, business-focused ML solutions.

About Me

I'm a Data Science student at IIT Madras on a mission to transform complex data into meaningful stories and intelligent solutions. My journey combines rigorous academic training with hands-on project experience, allowing me to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world impact.

What drives me is the excitement of uncovering hidden patterns in data and building systems that learn and adapt. Whether it's predicting outcomes, automating decisions, or visualizing insights, I approach each challenge with curiosity and a commitment to creating solutions that matter.

Machine Learning Engineer

I design and deploy machine learning models that solve real problems. From supervised learning for prediction tasks to unsupervised methods for pattern discovery, I work with scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch to build intelligent systems. Currently exploring deep learning and generative AI to push the boundaries of what's possible.

Data Analyst & Storyteller

Numbers tell stories when you know how to listen. I specialize in exploratory data analysis, statistical modeling, and creating compelling visualizations that drive decisions. Using Pandas, NumPy, and visualization libraries, I transform raw data into actionable insights that stakeholders can understand and act upon.

Full-Stack Developer

Behind every great data solution is solid engineering. With a strong foundation in Data Structures & Algorithms, I build efficient, scalable applications using Python, Java, and SQL. My web development skills with Flask and SQLAlchemy allow me to create end-to-end data applications with intuitive interfaces.

Business Analytics Specialist

I speak both languages—data and business. By understanding organizational goals and translating them into analytical frameworks, I create models that deliver measurable business value. My focus is on solutions that are not just technically sound, but strategically aligned with business objectives.
