Sharmila Velamur is a Data Scientist and former expert software engineer with 10 years of experience, currently applying her craft at J.R. Simplot Company in Boise. She blends rigorous software engineering discipline with creative pattern-seeking—rooted in a lifelong fascination with natural and artistic patterns—to build end-to-end data pipelines, from ingestion and feature engineering to model selection and deployment. A UC Berkeley MIDS alum, she is comfortable tuning clusters in the cloud or slicing dataframes locally and leverages big-data frameworks, visualization, and storytelling to surface unexpected business insights. Known for mentoring and intellectual curiosity, she pairs mindfulness and a gardener’s patience with a quantitative mindset, and aspires to compose music that mirrors the pattern-driven way she approaches data.
