What makes me stand out
I recently graduated with master’s in computer science with a Thesis focused on Graph Representation Learning algorithm. I have 4+ years of industry experience coupled with a strong academic background in Computer science. My innate hard-working nature coupled with the developed skill of problem solving in the field makes a potential candidate.
My profile gives a brief picture and includes some projects on Model Building using Supervised learning techniques, Regression Analysis etc., and a few around AWS Cloud, Big Data and Data Visualization. This is a work in progress!

Recommendations
Nicole Klassen, Data Analyst III Relationship: Directly Reported to her
Harini is an excellent data analyst who can pick up any project quickly. I supervised her when she was a graduate assistant at the University of Cincinnati where she was put on a large presidential priority project that was a part of the new strategic plan. She jumped right in, creating insightful dashboards and helping automate our data pulls. For these projects she quickly learned Tableau and SAS. No matter what crazy, complex idea I gave her for dashboards or data sets and she was able to get Tableau and SAS to make it happen, automating and documenting the process so it could be replicated in the future. She will be an asset to any team she is a part of, tackling new challenges and providing insights for any client.
Patricia Happel, Institutional Research Analyst Relationship: Worked Together
Harini is a very talented analyst, who is always willing to help out a coworker. She is an awesome person to bounce ideas off of, and work through logic with. She is awesome at SQL, Tableau, and SAS. Her amazing attitude and data analysis skills make her a very valuable teammate!
