Decoding Solutions Through Science & Movement

Data & Applied Scientist

I design and deploy end-to-end LLM and ML solutions - including LLM-powered prompt generation systems reaching 60K+ users, automated prompt evaluation and optimization frameworks that utilize LLM-as-a-Judge methodology, Automatic Prompt Optimization (APO) with textual gradients, and custom evaluation metrics for semantic similarity and response quality. I work on red-teaming LLM systems to identify vulnerabilities like prompt injection and support safer AI development. My growth analytics expertise drives product adoption strategies, including increasing engagement among high-risk customers worth $415M through targeted, data-driven interventions. As a Women@Microsoft ERG leader, I amplify impact beyond technical delivery by directing scholarship programs for 2,000+ future STEM leaders and facilitating career-focused discussions with C-level executives for 1,000+ attendees.

Dancer & Yogini

I apply the same mindful precision to analyzing complex datasets as I do to mastering classical Bharatanatyam sequences and yoga postures. My experience choreographing and performing in live theater shows and cultural festivals has taught me to approach problems with both analytical rigor and creative intuition - enabling me to design user-centric solutions and transform complex data into compelling narratives that truly resonate with stakeholders.

Love discussing generative AI platform evaluation/ optimization, Responsible AI, data-driven growth strategies, empowering women in tech, or the intersection of creativity & data science. - let's connect!
