Data that thinks.
Products that ship.

I'm Nithin — a Senior Data Analyst at PEI Group, currently building AI-powered products for private markets. I live where data, AI, and product collide.

About

Ten years, six pivots, one throughline — curiosity.

My career hasn't been a ladder. It's been a series of pivots, each one taken because something new got too interesting to ignore.

My philosophy

Always Learning

Every role has taught me something different. I enjoy stepping into unfamiliar domains and figuring out how they tick.

Business Before Technology

Tech is exciting, but solving the right business problem is what actually matters. Everything else is scaffolding.

AI as a Multiplier

AI hasn’t replaced how I work — it’s fundamentally changed how quickly ideas become shipped products.

Beyond work

Specialty Coffee

Chasing single-origins and dialling in ratios.

Travelling

New cities = new cafés to hunt down.

Reading

Non-fiction and history, mostly.

Cooking

The other kind of experimentation.

History & Indian Culture

Wikipedia rabbit holes at 1AM.

Side Projects

Small experiments, mostly with LLMs.

Journey

A career built at the seams — where data meets product meets AI.

Senior Data Analyst · PEI Group

Private Markets · AI Products
askPEI
  • Working shoulder-to-shoulder with the Product Owner and Head of AI on askPEI — a private-markets research assistant grounded in years of proprietary journalism, data and analysis.
  • Bridge between Product Management and Engineering: I turn fuzzy business questions into data contracts, retrieval sets and eval rubrics.
  • Collaborate deeply with Data Engineers and Data Scientists on Databricks and modern LLM tooling.
  • Use Claude Code extensively for AI-assisted development — helping the team ship features roughly 2–3× faster.

Principal Technical Consultant · Business Intelligence · Digital.ai

Enterprise BI & DevOps Intelligence
  • Owned the BI advisory relationship for enterprise customers — translating messy DevOps telemetry into decision-ready dashboards.
  • Designed data models and semantic layers that survived quarterly re-orgs and audits.
  • Coached client teams on analytics-engineering patterns; reduced average dashboard build time by ~40%.

Enterprise Data & Predictive Modelling
  • Grew from Software Engineer Trainee into BI, working primarily in the ITSM domain — turning ticket and operational data into decisions.
  • Moved into Machine Learning — built predictive models, experimentation frameworks, and applied analytics to real business problems.
  • Owned end-to-end analytics for product & growth squads and coached teams away from ad-hoc SQL culture.
