Hi, I’m
Shiva Kumar.
Data analyst & AI application builder.
University of Melbourne.
I build tools for problems I know first-hand: inconsistent asset records, customer feedback that needs interpretation, and personal information scattered across accounts.
Python, Streamlit and AI are part of my toolkit. With Codex, I turn requirements into applications, then check the logic against the records behind them.
