What my colleagues say about working with me
I have worked with Shivani on multiple data science projects. The zeal and enthusiasm that she has for problem solving gives her a never give up attitude. She knows how to torture the data enough to get the story out. As a data science practitioner she earns my highest recommendation.
Nitika Kamboj
Applied Scientist II, Junglee Games
Shivani is the ideal teammate and partner. She is constantly searching for improvements, proactively working on action items, and consistently over-delivering on every task. Her analytic and problem-solving capabilities are extremely strong and a person I always relish working with. She earns my highest recommendation.
