Hello World!
I am a Geospatial and data science consultant based in Leeds, UK. I have a Masters in Geoinformatics and a Bachelors in Physics. I have been working on mobile monitoring of air quality in specific routes in Bengaluru along with applying different statistical and machine learning models to low-cost air quality sensor data. I like making things simpler and automating analysis. I am a certified Tidyverse Instructor.
I started out with C++ while in high school and slowly moved to C and C# during Bachelors and Masters respectively. I started to use R to automate analysis for a bunch of satellite images and never turned back. I continuously use Python or R at work to make numbers easy to understand. I also use QGIS to make high resolution spatial maps.
The community has played a key role in making my coding journey smooth. I love to learn new tips to make codes simpler, understand complex science in a simple way and my favourite way to spend time is writing functions.
I am a proud alumna of Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning. After my coding and science hours you can find my head behind my kindle or between my headphones or trying to play the Ukelele or trying to learn a new language. I am an amateur runner and a trained classical Bharatnatyam dancer.
Here is my CV last updated on March 2023.
MSc. Geoinformatics ∙ Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Environment Education and Research ∙ 2018
BSc. in Physics ∙ Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning ∙ 2016

I am a Research Software Engineer. My work involves building analysing data to understand environmental issues. I have become a data enthusiast lately. Since I have heavily benefited from the community my other focus areas are community outreach and open science.
I co-founded R-Ladies Bengaluru and am co-founder of AsiaR. I was a part of the Global organising team for Sponsorship, Program and Content and Code of Conduct Response team for the useR! 2021.
I am a peer reviewer for Journal of Open Source Software and rOpenSci.
I co-hosted a live Q and A session - Teaching for rstudio::global(2021) and was the chair for Keynote at useR! 2021.
At useR! 2022 I gave a tutorial on Introduction to spatial data analysis in R. The video can be found here.
Though I speak only a few programming languages, in social life I can speak English, Hindi, Kannada, Tulu, Tamil, Telugu and I can understand Marathi.
