About Me
I'm Ani. I'm a student at UNC Chapel Hill studying data science and statistics with a minor in music performance. I am inspired by the intersectionality of technology and creativity, applying my strong musical background to artificial intelligence and data science. I love building narratives through data storytelling and visualization, all while blending analytics with ML and DL. Yup, all the "Good stuff."
