About Me

Farad Mohammed Sarkhaji Profile Photo

I am a software engineer and data science aspirant currently pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology with an Honours in Data Science from Padre Conceicao College of Engineering. My work sits at the intersection of software development, data analysis, and machine learning: building reliable applications, exploring predictive models, and turning raw data into actionable insights. Alongside my coursework, I focus on applying these skills through practical academic projects, developing end-to-end web applications, data processing pipelines, and analytical dashboards. I am interested in roles across software engineering, data science, AI/ML engineering, analytics, and data engineering, especially where I can build impactful products that connect strong engineering fundamentals with data-driven decision-making.
