Anrunya Patole — Business Analytics Consultant

01Profile

The interesting problems hide inside averages — retention masked by rising basket sizes, exit reasons that mean different things to different segments, OCR that fails on the 10% of pages no one wants to look at.

I work at the seam between consulting and engineering — pipelines and Python one week, ROI cases and stakeholder memos the next.

M.Sc. Business Administration candidate in Global Business Analytics at Virginia Tech (Magna Cum Laude, GPA 3.7). Prior degrees in Business Information Technology (Virginia Tech) and CSE Data Science (NMIMS). I like problems where the answer requires both a query and a conversation.
