My Story

Hey there, I’m Gopi! My journey is driven by a simple, obsessive love: building digital products that actually work and solve real problems. I find a unique thrill in taking an abstract idea, architecting the data pipelines, orchestrating the intelligent models, and shipping it as a fully functional, end-to-end application.

Over the years, my work has spanned the entire product lifecycle. I’ve wrangled large-scale data in Databricks and Snowflake, built full-stack analytics dashboards, and engineered production GenAI agents and RAG pipelines. To me, AI is a powerful tool to build interactive, intelligent, and scalable solutions that make a real difference for users. I refined this focus during my Master’s in AI and Business Analytics at the University of South Florida.

This website is a collection of my projects, experiences, and continuous learning journey. Take a look around - and let's connect if you want to talk product development, full-stack AI, or coffee!

Data Analysis

Florida Poverty Trends

Florida Poverty Trends Full Mockup

Overview

Florida Poverty Trends is a data analytics project that examines how poverty rates have evolved across Florida counties from 2012-2024, with a particular focus on Hillsborough County (Tampa) and its economic resilience over time.

The Challenge

Understanding regional poverty trends requires analyzing long-term data and comparing counties with diverse economic conditions, demographics, and recovery patterns.

The Solution

Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, I developed a multi-year analytical dataset and interactive Tableau dashboards to evaluate poverty trends across Florida counties. The analysis revealed that Hillsborough County's poverty rate declined from 17.2% to 13.2%, demonstrating steady improvement and resilience through the COVID-19 period.

GoGuess Full Mockup

Overview

GoGuess is an interactive geography game that transforms map learning into a fun, challenge-driven experience. Players test their geographic knowledge by identifying locations across interactive maps while tracking their progress and performance.

Challenge

Traditional geography learning often relies on memorization, making it difficult to stay engaged and retain knowledge over time.

Solution

I developed a browser-based geography game that helps users strengthen map recognition skills through interactive challenges. Players can answer using either keyboard input or voice commands, while real-time feedback and scoring mechanics create an engaging and accessible learning experience.

Socio-Economic Determinants of Crime

Socio Economic Determinants of Crime Full Mockup

Overview

Socio-Economic Determinants of Crime is a data analytics project that explores how income, poverty, unemployment, and income inequality influence crime rates across U.S. states from 2010-2023.

Challenge

Crime is influenced by multiple socio-economic factors, making it difficult to identify which variables have the strongest impact and how changes in economic conditions affect public safety over time.

Solution

Using data from the FBI Crime Data API and U.S. Census Bureau, I built an analytics pipeline to collect, clean, and analyze state-level crime and economic data. Interactive Tableau dashboards revealed a $69,000 household income threshold beyond which crime rates stabilize, while highlighting the relationship between income inequality and violent crime.

EV Adoption in Washington State

EV Adoption in Washington State Full Mockup

Overview

EV Adoption in Washington State is a data warehousing project that integrates EV registration, income, and policy datasets into a centralized analytical platform for studying electric vehicle adoption trends.

Challenge

EV adoption data is often fragmented across multiple sources, making it difficult to analyze the combined impact of economic, geographic, and policy factors.

Solution

I designed a STAR schema data warehouse and ETL pipeline to unify EV, income, and tax-exemption data from 2010-2024. SQL-based analysis revealed a strong correlation (0.68) between household income and EV adoption, while highlighting regional and manufacturer-specific adoption patterns.

Sports

Sports

Sports and bouldering form a major part of my lifestyle, offering a healthy physical outlet that directly complements my software engineering. Bouldering is a climbing style performed on small rock formations or artificial walls without ropes, focusing on short, highly technical paths called "problems." Solving climbing routes requires strategic planning, spatial awareness, and problem-solving, turning every route into a three-dimensional physical chess puzzle.

Photography

Photography

Astrophotography is the specialized art of photographing night skies, celestial bodies, and deep-space nebulae. Capturing the Milky Way or distant celestial structures requires long exposures, camera tracking mount calibration, and specialized photo processing pipelines. It merges high-precision hardware calibration with absolute creative patience. Standing in complete silence under a clear, unpolluted night sky waiting for long-exposure sensors to collect photons is incredibly grounding.

Music

Music

Creating modular ambient music involves routing control voltage (CV) and audio signals through eurorack synthesizer modules to generate evolving textures, melodies, and soundscapes. By patching oscillators, filters, and delay modules together, the synth becomes a living, breathing sound instrument. It is essentially visual coding but with sound electricity. There are no presets in eurorack modular; every organic note, tone, and rhythmic pattern must be patched from scratch using physical cables, producing entirely unique audio experiences.

Cooking

Cooking

Culinary arts and modernist cooking focus on precision temperature controls, sous-vide water circulation, artisanal sourdough fermentation, and flavor profiling. Preparing dishes involves balancing acid, heat, fat, and textures to elevate simple ingredients. Cooking is a creative sensory chemistry experiment. Following a recipe is like compiling code, but tweaking ingredients on the fly is where the true artistic improvisation and delicious outcomes happen.

Travel

Travel

Alpine backpacking involves hiking remote wilderness trails, carrying ultralight gear packs, and camping at high-altitude alpine lakes. Exploring mountain ranges provides a deep escape from screen time and absolute immersion in natural landscapes. It is the ultimate way to disconnect from digital structures. Hiking miles of mountain vertical gain teaches physical resilience, navigation, and trail safety while offering unmatched panoramic views.

Fitness

Fitness

Strength and conditioning fitness revolves around calisthenics, functional bodyweight movements, gymnastic ring training, and muscle endurance. Maintaining physical strength ensures high mental energy levels, structural body health, and focus. It establishes a consistent daily discipline. The feedback loop in fitness is completely objective; training regularly builds stamina, improves focus, and keeps my body resilient during long desk cycles.
