About Me

Hi, I am Varun, a passionate data scientist with a strong foundation in machine learning and generative AI. With over a year of experience at Jio Platforms, I specialize in developing generative AI solutions and transforming unstructured data into actionable insights that drive strategic decision-making. My expertise lies in leveraging advanced analytical techniques and problem-solving skills to uncover trends and patterns that help businesses thrive.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from K. J. Somaiya Institute of Technology (University of Mumbai), where I developed a keen interest in machine learning and deep learning, particularly in the domain of computer vision. My journey into the world of data science began with a curiosity about how data can tell compelling stories using simple modeling techniques.

In addition to my work at Jio, I actively seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills. I am particularly interested in exploring the potential of generative AI in various applications and looking into novel approaches in deep learning.
