Hey,
I am Subiksha

Data Scientist & AI Strategist

Transforming complex data into intelligent solutions. Currently architecting agentic AI systems in the heart of New York City.

About Me

I am a Data Scientist and Pace University Graduate (GPA 3.75) with over four years of professional experience in high-impact data roles. My expertise lies at the intersection of Agentic AI, RAG architectures, and scalable MLOps pipelines.

I have worked on end-to-end data lifecycles for global brands—from optimizing commercial policy discovery at PepsiCo using LLMs to engineering Medallion Architecture pipelines for Levi Strauss & Co. Beyond model development, I am proficient in data visualization and business analysis, ensuring that complex mathematical foundations are translated into clear, actionable insights that drive measurable value.
