Hi, I’m Swadha.
Thanks for stopping by.

A little about me: I’m based in Houston and work in strategy and AI. Lately, I’ve been helping local businesses find practical ways to use AI in their day-to-day work.

Feel free to look around. You’ll find some of my projects, thoughts on things I’ve been reading, and a little about what I get up to outside of work. If something catches your interest, I’d love to chat.

01 / SELECTED WORK

Less talking.
More exploring.

A mix of things I’ve built, questions I’ve investigated, and models you can actually play with.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE SPREADSHEETS

There’s more to me
than a job title.

Tennis courts. Community work. A belief that sustainability belongs in the conversation, not the footnote.

Good strategy starts
with paying attention.
So does a good backhand.

thinking about.

THE WORK / AN EVOLVING COLLECTION

Ideas are better
when you can try them.

Explore the thinking behind each project. The interactive dashboards and labs run right here. Explore the data, change an assumption, and see what changes.

CASE STUDIES / INDEPENDENT PERSPECTIVES

Real events.
Unpack the decisions.

Business stories are rarely as simple as the headline. Here’s a closer look at the trade-offs, the numbers, and what I’d want to know next.

Public-source research, not client engagements. Facts, assumptions, and independent recommendations are separated.

FIELD NOTES / THE BLOG

A thought.
A question.
A rabbit hole.

Notes on how businesses work, how we make decisions, and where the two show up in everyday life.

EXPERIENCE / THE THREAD SO FAR

From big questions
to getting it done.

View résumé ↗

Enterprise technology, a seed-stage AI startup, and now local Houston businesses. Different contexts; the same instinct to connect analysis with action.

BEYOND WORK / THE LESS FORMAL INTRODUCTION

Not everything
fits on a résumé.

I love a good problem to solve. But I’m also a tennis person, a volunteer, and someone who cares about the kind of world we’re building.

A few things
that make me, me. ↓

01 / ON THE COURT

Always up for
another rally.

I love tennis and used to play on my university club team. It’s one of my favorite ways to get out of my head and into the moment.

02 / SHOWING UP

Community
comes first.

I volunteer with a breast cancer NGO. Making time to show up for other people matters to me, beyond anything that goes on a résumé.

03 / THE LONG VIEW

A more
thoughtful future.

I’m an advocate for sustainability. I’m especially interested in where responsible choices and practical business decisions can reinforce each other.

Say hello about a project.
Or a good tennis match.
