ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm Arav, an aspiring data scientist and entrepreneur from the University of Connecticut where I recently graduated with a degree in Computer Science and minors in Mathematics and Cognitive Science. I'm passionate about leveraging emerging technologies like AI for the social good, especially in the context of healthcare. I'm also equally eager to explore the intersection of business and technology, and hope to pursue a career that integrates both these fascinating domains.

My journey thus far has been fueled by a relentless pursuit of knowledge, leading me to work on diverse projects where I've had the opportunity to work with many amazing individuals and hone not only my technical skills but my soft skills as well.

This portfolio is a showcase of this journey and the milestones I've achieved along the way, reflecting my curiosity and desire to keep learning more!
