Not just how to build it — but why, and for whom.
About Me
I'm Vinay, a Computer Science student at Purdue University concentrating in Machine Intelligence, with a Minor in Management and a Certificate in Data Science. I'm drawn to work where data, intelligent systems, and real-world constraints intersect — whether that's building analytical pipelines, exploring ML applications, or developing software that operates on messy, real-world data. Beyond technical work, my Management minor reflects a genuine interest in how technology and business strategy come together.
I enjoy thinking about not just how to build things, but why and for whom. Always open to conversations, new connections, and opportunities in software engineering and data science.
