👋 Hi, I'm Smruti Singh
Passionate about building AI-driven data solutions. Experienced in cloud technologies, data engineering, analysis and technical consulting.

About Me
I approach data the same way I approach Bharatanatyam [Indian Classical Dance Form] with structure, rhythm, and attention to detail. Years of classical dance taught me discipline, pattern recognition, and how small misalignments can change the entire story. Data felt familiar for the same reason: beneath the chaos, there is always structure waiting to be revealed.
I chose data as a career because I enjoy building order out of complexity. I’m most engaged when I’m designing SQL-driven workflows, automating reporting, or shaping raw datasets into systems that others can rely on. My work leans engineering-first, I care about clean logic, reusable pipelines, and analytics that scale beyond one-off answers.
Professionally, I’ve worked across enterprise and academic environments, building automated reporting, dashboards, and performance analyses that support real decision-making. I enjoy owning problems end to end , from vague requirements to reliable data models to insights that leaders can actually act on. I’m especially motivated by work where data improves efficiency, planning, and long-term strategy.
Outside of work, Reading keeps me grounded. It reminds me that precision and creativity aren’t opposites , they’re partners. That mindset shapes how I build with data: thoughtfully, deliberately, and always with the end audience in mind.
