About Me

VRITTI GANDHI

Data Scientist

Learner | Driven | Persistent

Currently working as a Data Scientist with Discover Financial Services, I am highly interested in data science and machine learning, and am constantly fascinated by the power it has to drive impact. My goal is to continually contribute to this impact!

Originally from New Delhi, India, I have a background in Economics, and most recently completed my Master's in Applied Data Science from University of Chicago. I have previously worked in the Analytics domain for ~3 years developing credit scorecard models in India. On the side, I love singing, strumming my guitar alongside, and dancing to the tunes of Bollywood. I also aim to be active in Women in Tech communities.
