ABOUT ARNAV CHANDNA
I’m comfortably poised in a casual t-shirt like a Silicon Valley founder, yet strategically dressed in a crisp business suit akin to a Wall Street hedge fund manager. I hope this paints my professional identity without compromising your perception of my fashion sense.I’m a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, specializing in Management with a focus on Data Science, majoring in Computational Cognitive Science, and minoring in Economics. I firmly believe that a practical understanding of business must be complemented by technical mastery in a core discipline to truly create impactful products and services. Hence, I’ve cultivated a multidisciplinary skillset spanning software development (Python, Java, Swift), data science (Python, R, SQL), UI/UX & marketing design (Figma, Canva), finance (DCF Modelling, NPV Analysis, etc), and applied research (AI, Business, Cognitive Science). My core strengths lie in translating complex technical concepts into digestible and compelling insights, building meaningful relationships, and applying strategic, logical thinking to solve intricate problems.Professionally, I’ve worn many intern hats - from co-authoring a Perspective-Aware AI research paper with MIT Media Lab as an AI Researcher Intern at Flybits, to scaling the digital presence of a title-winning sports team as a Marketing Intern, and developing ML predictive models and procurement strategies as a Consulting Intern at KPMG. To learn by action, I’ve embedded myself in various prestigious student organizations at the University of Toronto. I host Neurotech UofT\'s pioneering podcast - NeurOn Air. At UofT AI, from Partnerships Associate, I advanced to Team Lead, and now VP Partnerships at UTMIST, Canada’s largest machine learning student organization. Simultaneously, I’ve built a strong foundation in consulting through my growth from Consultant at UTCA and 180 Degrees Consulting (180 DC), to Team Lead, and now Consulting Director at 180 DC.What sets me apart is the eclectic blend of my rigorous coursework, hands-on professional experiences, and diverse extracurricular ventures. This multifaceted exposure has enabled me to connect the dots between disparate domains and constantly challenge conventional thinking through a cross-industry lens. I aspire to contribute to products/services that sit at the intersection of business, technology, and people.Whether it’s case competitions, hackathons, professional opportunities, or projects, I\'m in!
