Who I Am

Data analyst by skill,
economist by training

"I joined econ for the theory and stayed for the regressions."

I'm a 3rd-year Economics & Data Science student at ITU Lahore. I spend most of my time building dashboards in Power BI, wrangling microdata in Stata, and occasionally convincing Python to behave. My work lives at the intersection of labour economics, policy analysis, and applied ML.

Honhaar Scholar, three-time internship-getter (this summer alone), EGTA26 Round 3 finalist, and yes — I do debug Stata at 2am voluntarily.
