Mapping the unseen patterns of the world.

✦ stellaephile

Spatial intelligence meets data depth. I turn complex geographies into insights that move cities forward - with precision, and something close to devotion.

✦ About

Data that knows
where it stands.

I'm a GIS Data Analyst specializing in urban transport and mobility, currently at WRI India. I work at the intersection of spatial data, AI, and city systems - building tools that help decision-makers see what maps alone can't tell.

My background spans a BTech in Computer Science from IIIT Nagpur and a Master's in Data Analytics from the University of Houston, with hands-on experience in GIS platforms, cloud infrastructure, and generative AI applications.

I build on GCP and AWS, compete in Gen AI hackathons, and take on freelance GIS projects that push the boundaries of spatial analysis.

I believe a city is a living thing - and every dataset it generates is part of its breathing.
