Hello, I'm Amar
For nearly 30 years, my professional focus has been hands-on execution: delivering data science and analytics projects with measurable bottom-line impact. My focus now is integrating GenAI with data science for solving business problems. I’m a long-distance cyclist and a taekwondo practitioner. I practice yoga, trained directly under one of the senior instructors of Shri B.K.S. Iyengar. I’m deeply passionate about sports medicine, exercise physiology, diet optimization, Ayurveda, and toxin-reduction - to drive optimal health and peak performance.

Ayurved + Data
To reverse an autoimmune condition, I self-studied Ayurvedic principles and built my own tools for medical tracking and analysis, fine-tuning protocols to find what actually works. Self-studied core Ayurvedic concepts via Dr. Vasishth’s video lectures, originally created for doctors. Fine-tuned protocols across diet, lifestyle, and herbal inputs.
Data Science
25+ years in analytics and data science. I write the code, build the models, automate workflows, and deploy tools. $23M+ in signed-off incremental bottom-line impact. Builder of Tigzig Analyst - a suite of 30+ open-source AI micro-apps covering database AI, Text-to-SQL, web scrapers, report generators, and automation utilities
