Hi 👋, I’m Mehul

Welcome to Thoughts, Code and Mischief — a corner of the internet where I write about AI, machine learning, and the occasional detour into life.

The short version

I’m a Data Scientist who gets excited when patterns in messy data turn into decisions someone can actually act on. I build NLP systems, predictive models, and marketing science pipelines — the kind of work where a good model isn’t the finish line; it’s the start of a smarter conversation.

How I got here

My fascination with data started when I realized that numbers aren’t abstract — they tell stories about people, behavior, and innovation. That curiosity led me to Data Science at Northeastern University, where I learned to love the gap between a raw dataset and something that changes how a team operates.

Before grad school, I studied Computer Science at VIT, Vellore, and spent time on research and projects across ML, deep learning, and NLP. Those early experiments taught me something I still carry: the best technical work is useless if you can’t explain why it matters.

What I build

Today I focus on NLP, predictive analytics, and marketing science — systems that need to be rigorous and usable.

At Universal Music Group and Flynn Group, I’ve worked on:

  • Bayesian marketing mix models (MMMs) to understand what actually drives ROI
  • Revenue forecasting systems that help teams plan with confidence instead of guesswork
  • Sentiment analysis platforms that turn unstructured text into actionable signals

The through-line: connect technical precision to strategic goals, and make sure the output lands with the people who need it.

Tools I reach for

TensorFlow PyTorch Scikit-learn Airflow MLflow Cloud pipelines

I’m most at home when a model moves from notebook experiment to something that runs reliably at scale.

What I’m looking for

I’m excited about roles like Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, or Data Science Lead — places where I can keep building intelligent systems that merge data and strategy into measurable results.

Outside the code

When I’m not tuning models or wrangling pipelines, you’ll find me behind a drum kit or playing the Indian classical flute. Different kind of pattern recognition — but the rhythm helps.

Let’s connect

If you’re interested in AI innovation, NLP systems, or machine learning that turns data into business value, I’d love to reach out on LinkedIn.
