He considers himself a ‘forever student’, eager to build both on his academic foundations in computer science and to stay in tune with the latest programming tools through his continuous journey. His hunger for knowledge and determination to turn information into action has contributed to his successful endeavours. Before beginning his journey as a data scientist, he gained both industrial and academic experience during his internships. He was involved in an academic setup where he conducted supervised research for two straight months. It was at SWAN labs, IIT Kharagpur under the esteemed guidance of Prof. Sudip Misra in the summer of 2018. Next, he gained the industrial experience in the data science domain at the life sciences division of Tata Consultancy service by interning there for three months.

Akash believes mindfulness in the workplace is the key to success hence, when he is not visualizing the beauty of data in a jupyter notebook, he lives out through his interests in table tennis, reading, getting hands on his guitar on a regular basis and riding his motorbike on long empty roads.
