Shubham Kumar Agrawal
M.S. in Data Science Student @ University at Buffalo
Accomplished Data and Business Analyst with 5 years of industry experience transforming complex data into business strategy. Now pursuing a Master's program to skill up to build and solve complex Data Science/Machine Learning problems helping real-world business grow.
About Me
I’m a data professional with 5 years of industry experience and a strong curiosity for turning complex data into actionable intelligence. I’ve worked across analytics and product-focused roles at companies like Pure Storage and BlueOptima, where I built scalable dashboards, end-to-end data pipelines, and decision frameworks that supported business and product teams.
After my undergraduate degree in Electronics, I took a deliberate career pivot into data—navigating challenges, failures, and continuous upskilling to build a solid foundation in analytics. That journey shaped my resilience and my appreciation for learning things the right way.
I’m currently pursuing an MS in Engineering Science – Data Science at the University at Buffalo to deepen my foundations in machine learning, databases, and applied AI. Alongside coursework, I contribute as a Research Assistant working on LLMs, and regulatory data analysis, and actively engage in workshops, hackathons, and community learning.
I thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy tackling ambiguous problems, and aim to build data-driven solutions that scale and create real-world impact.
