Summary
Arnav Dashaputra is a pragmatic data scientist and full-stack engineer with 10 years of hands-on experience building ML models, cloud-native services, and user-facing applications. He moves fluidly between React/Node/Python stacks, ML/NLP pipelines, and AWS/Azure infrastructure, preferring roles that blend development, DevOps, and data science rather than siloed specialties.
