About Kaustubh

A Computer Science graduate with a strong foundation in analytics, I’m currently pursuing my MSc in Business Analytics at Warwick Business School. My passion lies in bridging the gap between data and business strategy — transforming complex datasets into insights that drive informed, impactful decisions.

Skilled in data storytelling, dashboard design, and analytical problem-solving, I enjoy uncovering patterns that reveal opportunities and influence strategic outcomes. I believe great analytics isn’t just about numbers — it’s about clarity, context, and communication.

With a curious mind and a commitment to continuous learning, I've built end-to-end projects spanning SQL database design, statistical inference, machine learning, optimisation, and A/B testing — combining technical depth with business acumen to help organisations make smarter, insight-driven decisions.
