Mr. Vince Wilczynski · Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science · Mumbai

I had the privilege of attending an interactive session with Mr. Vince Wilczynski, Deputy Dean of the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science, during his visit to Mumbai on 23 September 2025.

I was grateful for the opportunity to present Unburden, my AI-powered anti-bullying mobile application, and discuss how technology can be used to address real-world social challenges — an experience that reaffirmed my passion for building human-centered AI solutions.

CEO Dashboard Project — Exponentia.ai

AI & Data Analytics Internship · Working with the CEO

I used to think dashboards were mainly about visualisation. This internship showed me that the hardest work often happens before a chart is created — collecting, organising, managing and cleaning data before it can support meaningful decisions. Good analytics is not simply about displaying more information. It is about making information trustworthy, relevant and useful.
