Hola! I'm Rajath!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
I have a Master's degree in Information Management with a focus on Data Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I've had the opportunity to work with some amazing companies like Goldman Sachs, Nvidia, and Visa, where I developed various projects and solutions using my technical skills in Python, ReactJS, Java, SQL, Shell, C++, R, and more. Some of my notable projects include predicting the medal tally of a country during the Olympics, predicting solar radiation, and building a chatbot to help people in distress find nearest available services.

I'm always excited to take on new challenges and solve complex problems using my expertise in data science, machine learning, and software engineering. If you'd like to learn more about my projects or connect with me, feel free to explore my website or drop me a message!
