Our problems aren't unique, and we learn better together. Here, I share my honest insights and unfiltered learnings.

Hi, I'm Namrata!I'm a strategic data scientist and machine learning engineer with a decade of experience developing mathematical and statistical models that translate complex operational systems into interpretable, data-driven tools for decision support. My work focuses on bridging physical and business realities with applied statistics, advanced analytics and machine learning to improve strategic decision making.I specialize in building scalable experimentation frameworks and developing decision systems that combine domain knowledge with statistical rigor. I thrive in environments that combine structured problem solving with creative analytical exploration, enabling continuous innovation at the intersection of operations research, statistical modeling, and machine learning.R, Python, SQL, and Google Cloud Platform are my current tools of choice. I also shadow as a Data Engineer from time to time... Because let's face it, a solid data foundation is a prereq for good Data Science.I currently work as the Lead Data Scientist and ML engineer for FP&A Decision Support at UPS. I am also the co-founder and host of the Data Science Hangout ✨at UPS (very much inspired by Posit).I'm passionate about bridging the gap between data and business literacy to solve real-world problems. Rogue Data Science (my blog) is an attempt to combine my love for learning, data, and writing. I'm still finding the balance between working with data and talking about it [I tend to gravitate to the former].But our problems aren't unique, and we learn better together. So I do my best to share my honest insights and unfiltered learnings. I often learn a thing or two along the way,I do what I do simply because I find mental peace in the data world. I believe that data-driven decisions can and should exist outside of the confines of our professional lives. Truth is, it's not the math behind data science that draws me. It's the art... the art of answering unasked questions and solving problems that don't always have a right answer (using math!).I'm an advocate for animal welfare. I love animals in all shapes and sizes. I dabble in the arts from time to time... creativity serves as an antidote to my 'brain pain' and existential void.I consider myself a work in progress with no finish line in sight. I learn continuously in the pursuit of excellence and explore the world through the eyes of an animal-loving, data scientist gone rogue.Disclaimer: My online activity represents my personal opinion and not my employer's.
