Hello, I'm
Pratham
Data Science @ Michigan State University
Continuously tuning my hyperparameters and dodging overfitting, on and off the screen.
About Me
Driven by curiosity. Grounded in data.
I'm a senior data science student at Michigan State University (MSU) obsessed with uncovering meaningful patterns, building intelligent systems, and making complex ideas easy to get. Whether I'm building machine learning models, visualizing stories, or leading the MSU AI Club, I'm all about using data to solve real problems.
With hands-on experience across research and analytics, I thrive where deep tech meets real-world impact. My work ranges from validating forecasting models in industry to prototyping narrative visualizations for academic conferences. I'm also active in SpartaHack, MSU's premier hackathon crew, helping students innovate and build.
When I'm not building, I'm diving into internet mysteries or getting hyper-competitive in Spikeball.
