About Nihar Mandapaty

I am an analytics professional with multiple years of experience creating data-driven solutions within multiple verticals. Having actively contributed to, ideated, and executed multiple successful business analytics solutions throughout my career, I went from working with independent clients to tackling complex data projects in a larger organizational setting.I am, above all other identities that I may hold, first and foremost a musician. After a long journey starting with learning piano at age 4 to composing and producing full albums, music started driving every decision I made after graduating high school and attending the Frost School of Music. Music has always been my greatest method of communication with others and has shaped my understanding of the world in incredibly positive ways. My experiences contributed to my company, Sphere Music LLC, being a strong force in the music marketing scene.Alongside helping professionals harness the power of their data, I currently write and produce my own music and am part of JMOD, a funk band based out of Miami. As a person with an expanding list of hobbies that include but are not limited to aviation, sim-racing, video editing, and Chess, I take pride in being an absolute geek. In my free time, I often find myself going down Wikipedia rabbit holes, jumping from learning about the origins of Spikeball to the creation of quasars in outer space.
