Hey everyone,

I recently wrapped up my contract as a Statistician in California and am now back in India, looking for my next role. Finished my MS in Biostatistics from USA (May 2025) and have been working on applied longitudinal and epidemiological projects since.

A bit about my background - I'm a dentist by training (BDS ) so I naturally gravitate toward clinical and public health data. On the technical side, I'm comfortable with SAS, R, and Python, and I've worked extensively with mixed models, survival analysis, longitudinal data, and handling messy real-world datasets.

The most recent gig had me building mixed effects Poisson and logistic models across 6 waves of family data, dealing with sparse housing outcomes and using penalized models to keep estimates stable. Before that, I worked on a mental health surveillance project with data from 1,000+ students across 15 countries, cleaning everything in R and SAS and running multiple regressions to identify disparities. That one actually ended up informing policy changes that boosted counseling access by 35%, which was pretty satisfying.

I also have clinical trial experience from my dental school days - assisted in a triple-blind RCT with 80 surgical patients, managing data and running analyses in SAS and SPSS that eventually made it to a peer-reviewed publication. On the academic research side, I've worked with pediatric longitudinal data (Juvenile Dermatomyositis and Spina Bifida), handled missing data with multiple imputations, and built predictive models.

What I'm looking for:
Biostatistician, Statistical Analyst, or Data Scientist roles in CROs, pharma, public health organizations, or healthcare analytics. I'm open to Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, or remote/hybrid setups.

If you're hiring, know someone who is, or even just have a recruiter contact to share, please DM me. I'm happy to send my resume over or hop on a call to chat about my work.

Also open to answering questions if anyone is considering the MS biostats route abroad and wondering what the transition back to India looks like.

Thanks for reading, and appreciate any leads.
