Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChhavi Kankaria is a quantitative researcher and software engineer with 12 years of experience, currently completing an MA in Economics and working as a Research Assistant at Nova School of Business and Economics. She blends rigorous econometric research with a strong engineering background from roles at Peloton, Pivotal, and earlier internships at Microsoft and Amazon. As a former startup co-founder and Recurse Center alum, she brings entrepreneurial curiosity and deliberate practice to both product and research problems. Her technical foundation traces back to a Software Engineering degree from University of Waterloo and hands-on systems work at IBM and game development at a small startup. Comfortable moving between code, data, and economic models, she excels at turning complex quantitative questions into reproducible analyses and production-ready software. Based in New York, she pairs academic depth with practical engineering discipline, often approaching problems with a systems-level mindset not typical of pure researchers.
