About Alekhya Gorugantu

I’m a Gold Medallist in B.Tech Information Technology from KJ Somaiya College of Engineering and currently working as a Junior Analyst at ISS | Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS Stoxx). My academic journey and professional experiences reflect a deep interest in using data to understand, model, and solve complex problems.At ISS, I work on the Cyber Risk Score platform, contributing to the analysis and validation of large datasets from APIs to support risk modeling in financial systems. This hands-on experience has strengthened my skills in data processing, statistical reasoning, and backend development.Throughout my undergraduate years, I engaged in diverse projects—from lung cancer detection using CNNs and vegetation classification from satellite images, to developing government platforms and facial recognition tools. These experiences helped me build strong foundations in Python, SQL, Tableau, Java, and machine learning frameworks, while also nurturing my ability to work across interdisciplinary teams.Always eager to learn, I’ve completed certifications in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and iOS Development from institutions like IBM, UC Davis, and Imperial College London.Let’s connect if you’re working at the intersection of data, development, and impact-driven innovation—or if you’re just up for a good conversation about AI, music, or books!
