hi,

Hi, I'm Risheek — a Senior Data Science Analyst at American Express, soon transitioning into a Manager role.

I’ve spent the past few years working at the intersection of data, business strategy, and AI, building systems that drive decisions and measurable impact.
I’m deeply curious about how intelligence can be automated — from prompt optimization frameworks like DSPy to real-world analytics tools that connect business logic to machine learning.
I enjoy building things end-to-end: from model experimentation to productization and even frontend demos that make insights accessible.

I’ve also built indie projects like Downwork (an Upwork clone), Restomation (a restaurant automation app), Cinstagram (an Instagram clone), and Ske-app (a clothing app). These help me explore design, user experience, and product engineering outside of my day job.

Outside of work: I enjoy walking, deep conversations about tech and strategy, and building ideas that simplify complex systems. You can read my thoughts on my [blog] or find more experiments in my [work] section.
Connect with me on [LinkedIn] or reach out directly — I’m always up for discussing ideas at the intersection of data, AI, and indie building.

tl;dr
