Hello There!

I'm Zahir, a data scientist with a knack for transforming complex data into actionable insights. With a background in Psychology, Computer Science, and Economics from Ashoka University, I specialize in research design, data engineering, and analysis. From scraping political, economic, and bureaucratic information to analyzing sentiment from reviews, I leverage data to solve real-world and business problems. Whether it's building scalable web-scraping scripts or developing machine learning models, I enjoy the challenge of making sense out of chaos.

Beyond my professional life, I'm a passionate explorer of diverse interests. When I'm not deep in data, you might find me traveling, playing the guitar, or video-gaming (I was briefly a semi-professional player). I also love diving into tech news or exploring new rabbit holes on Reddit. My journey has been as much about people and experiences as it has been about code and algorithms. Join me as I navigate the exciting world of research, data, business, and everything in between!
