I am currently working with Goldman Sachs and building all things data @Marcus by Goldman Sachs, India. I am a big-time Machine Learning aficionado.

I am a tech speaker, tech blogger, podcast host, hackathon mentor @MLH hacks, technical content creator at Omdena, and Global Ambassador at Women. Tech Network. I believe in hacking my way through life one bit at a time.
