Hello! A Bit About Me...
I am an aspiring Data Scientist who believes data can talk, only if you are willing to listen and that's what I am passionate about - understanding the story data tries to tell by digging deep into large pools of data and constantly look for patterns, connections, and trends to gain the embedded knowledge. Currently, I am looking for Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence Engineer roles where I can apply my skills to deliver insights and data-driven solutions to business problems.
I possess a diverse skillset, an analytical mindset and follow a data-driven approach
that enables me to derive actionable insights and develop useful products from an enormous amount
of data. I am very well-organized and work in a disciplined & structured way by setting up realistic
timelines and deadlines. Being a problem solver, I can proactively identify root causes of issues
and develop elegant and innovative solutions. I was awarded by my previous employer for my innovative ideas of
automating repetitive tasks that reduced several hours of manual work.
I believe in a certain set of core values that I never compromise because they guide me in
making the right decisions in life which makes me trustworthy and reliable in any
environment. My motto is to dream big, work hard consistently to achieve those dreams,
and never give up no matter how long it takes. I intend to dedicate my efforts towards
supporting, mentoring, and inspiring women in technology especially in the field of data science.

Chinmaya Mahapatra
Founder, Deep Learning Invest Inc. | Faculty, KPU & Langara College
It was a pleasure consulting on Avneet's capstone project last term, on image data modeling using Python. She was able to achieve considerable improvement in her model accuracy by researching and applying various image preprocessing techniques as well as different ML algorithms. Avneet took responsibility for her work, produced deliverables on time and to high quality, and lead and organized project meetings. She would be an asset to any organization. Wishing her all the best in future endeavors.
