About Prakirn Kumar

I’m a data scientist with 6+ years of experience turning messy data into clear, actionable insights. Over the years, I’ve worked across the stack—building machine learning models, designing experiments, and setting up data pipelines that actually scale. I enjoy digging into complex problems, but what I enjoy even more is simplifying them.My background spans everything from predictive analytics to automated reporting and statistical modeling, usually in close collaboration with product, engineering, and business teams. I have expertise in Python, SQL, A/B testing, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), Airflow, and Tableau.If you\'re working on something interesting in data, product, or ML—or just want to chat about using data in smarter ways—feel free to reach out. Always happy to connect.
