Hi, my name is

Ajay Macharla.

I weave tales in the world of data.

I’m a Data Science Professional specialized in navigating complex business challenges by providing innovative solutions by leveraging the power of data.

About Me

Hello! My name is Ajay Macharla and I enjoy drawing insights from data. I am a Data and Business Analytics Professional with over 4 years of experience . I have expertise in Machine Learning, Data Management, SDLC oversight, Visualization and Analytical report generation.

I have worked as Sr Business Analyst at ICICI Bank, and Data Analytics Consultant at Cubastion Consulting. Currently I’m pursuing Masters in Business Analytics from the prestigious Carl.H.Lidner College of Business.

I'm a huge fan of cricket and badminton – there's just something about the thrill of these games that hooks me every time. In the kitchen, whipping up delicious Indian dishes is my passion. And when it's leisure time, you'll often find me engrossed in movies or having a blast playing board games.

Here are a few of my key skills:

  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Eleventy
  • Node.js
  • WordPress

  • Featured Project

    Build a Spotify Connected App

    Having struggled with understanding how the Spotify OAuth flow works, I made the course I wish I could have had.

    Unlike tutorials that only cover a few concepts and leave you with half-baked GitHub repositories, this course covers everything from explaining the principles of REST APIs to implementing Spotify's OAuth flow and fetching API data in a React app. By the end of the course, you’ll have an app deployed to the internet you can add to your portfolio.
