My name is Lavita Singhania.
I’m from Mumbai. I’m currently working as a Data Scientist.
I have a rare combination of Engineering, Actuarial science (Statistics) and an MBA which makes me suitable for a profile of a data scientist.
I’m currently working in the product development department for expanding the capability of the the existing BI tool to advanced predictive analytics.
I have proficiency with tools such as Sql, R and SPSS. I’m learning Python libraries Numpy, SciPy.
My enthusiasm lies in problem solving and adding value to already existing processes, which makes me have a natural urge to innovate.
I love to observe, analyse and better things around me. For eg: I took all the possible routes to my office from home and collected a small data to analyse what will be a better time to leave and the shortest route from home to reach office just in time considering the unpredictable nature of traffic in Mumbai.
I also teach R programming and statistics to TyBsc students at St. Xaviers over the weekends.
I spend my free time volunteering for Art of Living courses, helping people meditate and live a stress free life.
I love to paint and create doodles which makes me a fine balance of right and left brain capabilities!
Thank you!
