About

A bit about me

Background, interests, and what I'm looking for.

I'm Banda Kanishq Reddy — a Data & Analytics professional based in North Ryde, Sydney, recently completed my Master of Business Analytics at Macquarie University, Sydney.


I build things end-to-end: Python ETL pipelines, real-time Power BI and Tableau dashboards, ML models, and automation scripts that actually reduce manual work — not just prototypes.


I'm currently open to roles in data analytics, business intelligence, and ML engineering — remote or hybrid globally.

Beyond work, I run two live projects:


kanishqreddy.space — personal portfolio with a live AI chatbot, Streamlit analytics dashboard, and a full-stack Next.js app with authentication and payments.


kansum.online — a cyberpunk experimental lab featuring a live NSE stock forecast engine, GitHub Actions pipelines, and custom interactive UI built from scratch.
