Anika’s Portfolio

The best innovations thrive where disciplines collide, and I strive to bring that ethos to every project I approach.

Hi, I’m Anika Patel, a Financial Engineering and Data Science graduate student at USC from Orange County, CA, merging my BS in Computer Science and Business Administration with a passion for unconventional problem-solving.

My goals are driven by my passion for interdisciplinary collaboration, creative problem solving, financial engineering, probability and statistics, software engineering, machine learning, and new emerging technologies.

Some of my other interests include fashion, luxury, design, writing, reading, chess, golf, and travel.
