About Alakarthika A. K. Ulaganathan
Hello! I’m a data scientist with a background in both research and applied data science.Things that spark joy for me: solving complex problems, building tools that make an impact, and finding innovative ways to get things done.On a sidenote, I love pizza and cute animal videos. I also like to think that I’m a creative at heart. If you enjoy these things, or, if you think we have something interesting to chat about - I’d love to connect!I have a corgi named Cicero. He’s also a high achiever like me, and we’re working toward his AKC Canine Good Citizen certification.
