Asha Mariam Manoj

I am Asha Mariam Manoj, currently a Data Analyst Apprentice at Google, Bangalore, where I transform complex data into actionable insights. My journey was shaped by my work with the CAIES Foundation, where I led a project to predict the Air Quality Index (AQI) across Indian cities using machine learning techniques such as SVR, random forest, and SARIMA. This experience strengthened my skills in Python, SQL, data visualization, and model evaluation, while reinforcing my passion for using data science to address real-world challenges—an approach that aligns closely with Google’s mission and values.
