Ayon Roy

Ayon Roy

Imagine a world where cutting-edge technology teams up with unyielding passion to take on the biggest challenges of our time. That's where I come in. I'm Ayon Roy, and I'm not just about crunching numbers and lines of code.

I'm on a mission to leverage the extraordinary capabilities of Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence to tackle the pressing issues of sustainability and climate change.

What truly fires me up is the idea of using AI to tackle sustainability and climate-related challenges. I've had my fair share of adventures in the world of Data Science, AI, and ML, having hopped through various internships. Right now, I'm proudly wearing the hat of an Executive Data Scientist at NielsenIQ, where I get to channel my passion into meaningful projects.

However, my journey doesn't stop at my day job—I'm deeply involved in giving back to the community. I spend time mentoring hackathons and boot camps, helping budding tech enthusiasts find their way.

When it comes to speaking, I'm no stranger to the stage. I've stood in front of audiences around the world, delivering over 70 technical talks at international and national conferences, as well as meetups. From India to the USA, Ireland to Nigeria, and even Japan, I've taken the stage physically and virtually, adapting to different formats and keeping the crowd engaged.

But I'm not just about speaking; I'm also a firm believer in hands-on involvement. I've mentored over 100 hackathons, collaborating with prestigious institutions like John Hopkins School of Medicine, Jawaharlal Nehru University, IIT Madras, and Delhi University. It's my way of giving back and nurturing the next wave of innovators.

One of my proudest achievements is organizing India's First Kaggle Days Meetup in Delhi NCR, a platform that brings together minds hungry for knowledge and collaboration. And yes, I also indulge in reviewing technical books because staying ahead of the curve matters to me.

If you want to know more about me, check out my Personal Website (https://ayon-roy.netlify.app) or connect with me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayon-roy/). I'm excited about the chance to share my journey, insights, and passions with your event. Let's make it awesome together!
