I am a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate at MANIT Bhopal with a strong interest in problem-solving, data-driven decision making, and financial systems.I actively practice Data Structures & Algorithms in C++, focusing on building a strong logical foundation and improving my thinking ability through consistent problem-solving. Alongside this, I am exploring the field of Data Science, where statistics, machine learning, and real-world data analysis excite me the most.I also have a growing interest in Finance and Financial Markets, particularly in understanding how data, risk, and strategy influence wealth creation and business decisions.I believe in building skills with patience, discipline, and depth rather than chasing shortcuts.
