About
Hey, I'm Naitik
I am a Data Science student at IIT Madras, trying to deep diving in mechanics of how machines learn and increasingly, to building systems that put that learning to work.
My projects reflect that curiosity: I’ve built an end-to-end ML web app that predicts campus placement outcomes using a logistic regression model tuned to 84.7% accuracy, mined over 12,000 anime entries to surface statistically and dissected a 5,000-order e-commerce dataset to extract real business insight from raw transactional noise. Each project has pushed me deeper into the pipeline be it a messy data or a working, decision-ready output.
Outside the lab, I lead as Head Event Manager at Not Your College, a 15,600+ members tech community where I organized the community's first-ever hackathon end-to-end while coordinating 82 teams, recruiting and managing a volunteer team, and keeping organizers, volunteers, and participants aligned from planning to execution.
I work across Python, SQL, Data Analytics and Machine Learning, and I'm actively going deeper into Deep Learning, GenAI, Agentic AI, and Transformer architectures with an eye toward research and, eventually, building something of my own.
I am open to connecting with fellow builders, researchers, and anyone working at the intersection of AI.
