Foundations
Computer Engineering and a hands-on trade qualification, in parallel.
Started a B.E. in Computer Engineering at Gujarat Technological University while also completing an ITI qualification in Radio & Television—an unusual pairing that mixed formal software theory with hands-on electronics repair. That combination of abstract and physical systems still shows up in how the ecosystem spans software (Karan Infosys, NxtPerson) and hardware (AUTOEMATIO, Volt Watt).
- B.E. Computer Engineering · GTU, Ahmedabad (2016 – 2021)
- ITI, Radio & Television · Indian Training Institute
- Early exposure to circuits and electronics alongside programming
- First taste of debugging physical systems, not just code

Data Science, UK
Two parallel London data-science stints alongside the MSc.
While finishing the MSc, took on hands-on data roles in London: a rotational internship at The Sparks Foundation split across data science/business analytics and IoT/computer vision, followed by a data engineering role at Data Glacier. Both were about closing the gap between coursework and production data work—pipelines, visualization, and shipping to a deadline.
