I am a certified Business Intelligence (BI) Developer/Engineer within the IFS Data Science & Visualization team. In that role, I am responsible for data analytics and designing and maintaining the reports and visualizations related to SC Medicaid data and SC state census data.

Prior to joining the team, I worked as a Business Data Analyst for New York Life Insurance Company, where I supported the migration of a 75-year-old legacy reporting structure into Tableau, focusing on agent management data and securing the best possible outcomes.

Beginning my career in 2015 by working within various business domains (institutional, multimedia, insurance, Medicaid), I have expanded my knowledge and skills across sectors which is essential for a data professional. I am interested in transforming data into impactful visual treats by learning, and implementing the newest features and technologies emerging in the tech world daily.

I’m originally from India and would love to explore and enjoy different kinds of cultures, customs, foods. Besides that, I love posing for pictures, hand crafts, interior designing, and some more artistic activities. Family time is my most favorite time ever.
