Data Scientist
Sateesh Reddy Patlolla
What I'm particularly good at isn't any single technique. It's noticing when a method built for one problem is secretly the right tool for a completely different one. I like pulling ideas out of the context they were built for, stripping them down to the part that actually matters, and reassembling them into something that holds up under scrutiny but didn't come from the obvious playbook.
I'm currently open to full-time jobs where the interesting part of the job is figuring out which lens to apply before ever touching the data, places that reward a slightly sideways approach to a hard problem over the fastest path to a familiar one.
