Who I am
I’m Swayam, a third-year Data Science student based in Mumbai. Academically speaking, you’ll find me trying to decipher (successfully used some 'Heavy English' 😎😏) my own code or figuring out how to actually put my degree to use in the real world.
When I finally force myself to step away from the laptop, I’m usually out for a jog or a walk, getting a calisthenics workout in (who needs a gym, anyway?), or playing video games with a good playlist on repeat. I'm also a highly social person who loves getting out, meeting new people, and making friends. And on race weekends? You'll find me glued to the screen watching F1, hoping for a Max Verstappen masterclass.
Live Metrics & Context
If you're new here, this is a real-time snapshot of my current projects, habits, and obsessions as I build my path into Data Science and Quant Finance.
Currently fighting for my life against Angela Yu's bootcamp and wondering why my loops won't loop.
Moving past tutorials by actually building functional Python command-line tools.
Weekly proof that I am somehow surviving college, coding bootcamps, and watching Red Bull force Max to drive an absolute tractor all at once.
Researching and designing a peer-to-peer skill shadowing platform for self-taught learners because trying to learn skills online alone is absolute suffering.
The essential non-technical dependency required to make code compile successfully.
Dying a little inside every race weekend while watching Max drag a tractor around, praying for Red Bull to somehow fix their strategy.
What I'm working on
- The 100 Days of Code: Wrestling with Angela Yu's Python bootcamp and documenting the survival process.
- Core Problem-Solving: Writing scripts and logic games to test what I's actually learning.
- Data Science Tools: Slowly transitioning into the heavy-duty stuff like NumPy, Pandas, and Jupyter to actually put my degree to use.
Goals
Short-term: Go from a Python beginner to having job-ready data science skills over the next 12–18 months, while building a portfolio of projects that actually do something cool.
Long-term: I want to bridge the gap between data analysis and the financial markets. Ultimately, I've got my sights set on breaking into Quantitative Finance—but let's get my current code working first.
