About Me

Driven by data. Focused on impact.

I'm Atul, a Data Scientist and Cloud Engineer finishing my MS in Computer Science at Seattle University (GPA 3.6, graduating Jun 2026). I specialize in turning large-scale data into systems that work in production.

I've built a serverless AWS data lake that cut query costs by 80%, currently building a RAG chatbot on Bedrock and Lambda to help students access campus services faster, and also advise cross-functional teams as a Data Science Consultant at Statistics Without Borders. I hold 3 AWS certifications and have 2 peer-reviewed publications in ML and NLP.

I'm looking for Data Science, ML Engineering, or Cloud Engineering roles where I can keep building things that matter.
