Namaste 🙏, I Am

ParasSimkhada

An optimistic and tenacious person, passionate about learning, solving real-world problems, and turning data into clear, practical insights.

I build machine learning systems, work with real-world data, and teach Statistics to undergraduate and postgraduate students, making technical ideas practical, clear, and useful.

🛠 How I Work
  • Clear-first: I prefer explanations and interfaces that people can actually follow.
  • Evidence-driven: Models, analysis and recommendations should be supported by data and evaluation.
  • Keep improving: Build, test, learn, refine — then repeat.
