Hello,

I'm Tarun.

A Data Scientist.A Data Analyst.

About

A quantitative mind, mentored by industry pioneers.

Quantitative data scientist working at the intersection of predictive modelling, statistical analysis, and operational optimisation. Comfortable with large, messy, real-world datasets — and equally comfortable explaining the result to a shop-floor operator, a clinician, or a board.

Transcriptomic biomarkers for late-stage breast cancer

Predictive models on high-dimensional TCGA-BRCA RNA-seq data — log2 normalisation, variance filtering, and PCA to isolate differentially expressed features. Regularised linear, ensemble tree, and dropout-regularised neural network classifiers cross-validated for ROC-AUC, precision, and F1. Explainable-AI attribution validated against Spearman's ρ and Kendall's W for consensus across model classes.
