Hey there! I'm AnushKrishna, currently wrapping up my Master's in Data Science at RIT with a GPA of 3.94. I've got a solid handle on Python, Airflow, Dask, Azure, and more, which I've used in various projects and roles, from academia to industry.
One highlight of my journey was working on a research project with Professor Mohamed Wiem Mkaouer, where we dug into how developers use AI to improve software development. We even got to share our findings at MSR conference in Lisbon!
Outside of the tech and academic world, I have a huge interest in finance and investments. I'm often buried in books by Charlie Tian and Michael Lewis, trying to understand the market's ins and outs. This passion also sparked DLFIN, my personal project focused on developing better tools for financial analysis.
Real talk' life hasn't always been smooth. From commerce to tech, that was some change, I've faced my fair share of bumps along the way, but they've only made me more resilient and determined.
I'm now looking to merge my skills in data science with my passion for finance and research to find opportunities where I can really make an impact.
If you're looking for someone who's as enthusiastic about technology as they are about financial systems, let's chat!

Testimonials
I managed Anush for over a year at Metabob. I saw him grow tremendously in our team, from an engineer who was hired through a mutual contact/hackathon to a major contributor to our data engineering team and initiatives. Anush worked in various aspects of our ML pipelines and became an expert using tools such as Dask for parallel computing, which was previously found to be a challenge with many engineers we encountered. Anush is also an expert when it comes to Azure, which helped us with cloud migration tasks. Aside from his technical abilities, Anush possesses great communication skills and is a pleasure to work with! I am delighted to recommend him to any organization.
Axel Lonnfors
COO Metabob
Anush and I worked together at Metabob for the past year. We hired him because of his performance at a hackathon, so we already knew he is productive and focused. He did a great job of cleaning up some of my software and integrating it into a pipeline to Kubernetes on GCP. He was instrumental in migrating us to Azure. He is now seriously pursuing his interests in data science and natural language processing at Rochester. He will be a great asset to any working group.
Ben Reaves
Director of AI - Metabob
I worked with Anush in both professional and non-professional environments. Anush is dependable and communicates well. I was impressed with Anush's ability to tackle tasks in various fields (Back-end to data eng to ML/NLP) on his own, including tackling new big codebases and refactor for speed where desirable. Just amazing. He knows how to fit in a team and produces maintainable artifacts. He contributes thoughtfully on issues at hand and maintains good discipline, consistency and follow-up practices. He works excellently in a remote context. We worked in environments where mouthful scoops of learning were needed and Anush adapted quickly. He also has an excellent ear for feedback. He knows when to absorb advice and when to propose alternatives. He knows how to operate in lead and non-lead modes. He clears up time when needed to support community initiatives, giving his best. I 100% recommend Anush as a technically capable, insightful and click-at-first-touch team member.
