ABOUT AKASH KURA
As a Statistics and Data Science student at UCLA with a Data Science Engineering minor, I’m passionate about applying analytics and problem-solving to real-world business and product challenges.I bring experience across financial services, social media, and academic research. At Capital One, I’m focused on building preemptive flagging and notification workflows in SQL and Databricks to improve policy compliance and operational readiness. Previously at X (formerly Twitter), I worked on marketing analytics and sales reporting automation using SQL, Insight Engine, APIs, and Python, delivering clear insights to support campaign strategy.I’m also part of the Coalas Lab at UCLA, where I research applying NLP and visualization techniques to improve accessibility and communication. In addition, I’m building consumer-focused product solutions in the startup space, with experience in full-stack development, backend system design, and data-driven feature implementation.My interests span Data Science, Product Management, Machine Learning, and the intersection of technology and user experience. I’m always eager to connect, share ideas, and collaborate on impactful projects. Feel free to reach out at a••••••••@ucla.edu.
