I make AI do the boring work,
but that's the interesting part.
but that's the interesting part.
01 Who am I
Hi, I'm Meghana. A data and AI person who genuinely enjoys a good business problem. I think like an engineer and speak the language of business.
I hold a Master's in Business Analytics from the University of New Haven and a background in Information Science Engineering. My favorite kind of work lives right where data, AI, and automation meet real decisions.
02 What I do
I bring AI into everyday work. I look for the slow, manual, repetitive parts of a business and use data and AI to make them faster, smarter, and a little less painful.
I start with the real problem, then reach for the right tool. Sometimes that is SQL and a clean dashboard. Often it is an AI workflow, a RAG app, or an automation that quietly does the work in the background.
AI is not a buzzword to me. It is how I think. I want teams to spend less time on busywork and more time on the decisions that actually move things forward.

View the post04 My perspective is different
I ship working tools, from AI agents to automations, not only slides and reports.
When I see a manual task, my first instinct is to ask how AI could just do it better.
Engineering background, business instincts. I speak to people and to the data.
Everything I make is built to end in something a team can actually act on.
Give me a messy question and a pile of data, and I will find the signal in it.
From Bengaluru to the United States, I adapt to new teams and contexts fast.

05 Let's talk
Send me a note.
I'm open to roles across analytics, data, AI, finance, automation, and consulting. If you're building something where smarter data and AI could help, I would love to be part of it. I'm easy to talk to, and I bring a fresh, AI first way of thinking to every team I join.
