Gundavaram Akash

I am a motivated B.Sc Data Science graduate seeking an entry‑level opportunity where I can apply my technical knowledge, analytical mindset, and real‑world corporate experience to contribute meaningfully to an organization. Over the past year, I worked at Optum, UnitedHealth Group, as a Resolving Analyst (Claims Representative Associate). This role strengthened my problem‑solving skills and taught me the importance of precision, compliance, and data accuracy in the healthcare domain. I gained valuable experience in handling claims, analyzing discrepancies, identifying root causes, and ensuring that each case was processed according to regulatory and organizational guidelines. This exposure allowed me to develop strong attention to detail, critical thinking, and an ability to work efficiently under strict timelines. My academic background in Data Science has provided me with a solid foundation in programming, statistical concepts, machine learning, and data visualization. I have hands‑on experience with Python, SQL, R, Excel, Power BI, and various analytical libraries such as pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and Matplotlib. Through multiple academic and personal projects, I learned how to clean, analyze, and interpret data to uncover meaningful insights that support smarter decision‑making. I enjoy working with data and transforming complex information into clear, actionable outcomes. In addition to technical abilities, my corporate experience at Optum helped me build strong communication and customer‑handling skills. I regularly collaborated with cross‑functional teams to resolve claim issues, verify data, and deliver accurate outcomes for clients. This helped me understand the importance of teamwork, professionalism, and strong stakeholder communication in a business environment. I am now looking for an entry‑level role in data science, data analytics, business intelligence, or any analytical domain where I can combine my academic learning with my hands‑on corporate experience. I thrive in environments that challenge me to learn continuously, think analytically, and contribute to process improvement. I am highly adaptable, eager to grow, and committed to delivering high‑quality work. With a blend of technical capability, real‑world analytical experience, and a passion for data, I am confident in my ability to add value to any organization and begin my career journey with dedication and enthusiasm.
