About me

I am Vansh Bordia, a data scientist at IIT Madras with a GPA above 7.8. My interest is the unglamorous part of modelling: what the baseline is, whether the split leaks, and whether the number survives a new season of data.

I build models for people who use them daily, not for leaderboards. Playstyle classifiers for coaching staffs, diffusion work I read early and built on, and a bias toward shipping the smallest honest version.

Why me

I care less about a score inside a notebook and more about whether a model still holds three months later: real baselines, leak-free splits, evaluation I would defend in a review.

Data Science & AI at IIT Madras, taught by building: domain-specific classifiers on real esports telemetry, experiments with baselines that matter, and evaluation setups that catch leakage before it flatters me. I care more about whether a model holds up outside the notebook than how it scores inside one.
