About Me

The person behind the pipelines

Data scientist, entrepreneur, and perpetual learner based in Plano, TX.

I'm Likith Choudary, an M.S. Data Science student at UNT with a 4.0 GPA and a passion for building ML systems that solve real-world problems. From hate speech detection in code-switched Telugu-English text to large-scale behavioral analytics, I love bridging research and product.

Before UNT, I graduated with a B.Tech in Computer Science (Data Science) and gained hands-on experience as an Associate Business Analyst at Airbnb, a Data Science Intern at NSIC Ltd., and as a founder of two startups — a food franchise and a ride-hailing app.

I'm currently seeking summer internships in Data Science, ML, Business Analytics, or Product Management. CPT authorized and open to relocation.
