Hey, I'm Parth Batra.

Data scientist by day, music critic by night.

I grew up in Rewari—a small town near Delhi-NCR—and I've been tearing through the data science jungle for about ~3.5 years now.

My journey started with gigs at Genpact (AI Engineer) and Brightchamps (Software Engineer), and now I'm crafting data magic as a Data Scientist at Procol (procol.ai, if you're curious).

I rock the Full Stack Data Scientist title because I've conquered it all:

• Built data pipelines that actually work
• Trained ML models that don't just look pretty on slides
• Created LLM agents that might pass the Turing test
• Crafted SQL queries so epic they deserve their own GitHub repo
• Developed microservices with CI/CD pipelines that deploy without breaking
• Designed dashboards that turn business metrics into actionable insights

I launched this blog to drop my unfiltered thoughts—whether it's breaking down cutting-edge tech or defending controversial hot takes (like why R secretly crushes Python for clean code). It's raw, sometimes messy, but always authentic—like a journal that accidentally went public or conversations with my imaginary data science mentor.

I graduated from BITS Pilani with a dual-degree flex: B.E. (Hons.) in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. (Hons.) in Mathematics. And yeah, I've logged over 100k minutes on Spotify Rewind in the last three years—possibly my greatest life achievement.

When I'm not wrangling data or debugging code, I'm deep in POP-culture rabbit holes, grabbing popcorn for Twitter meltdowns, or discovering artists before they hit your Discover Weekly. Check out my articles if that sounds like your vibe.
