COMPUTER SCIENCE & DATA SCIENCE

Prisha Nag

I’m a junior at Arizona State University pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Data Science. I’ve earned Dean’s List distinction and have hands-on experience building production software through my work at an PrintPapa, an e-commerce printing company. I’m also involved with ASU’s CoRAL Lab, where I’m exploring Natural Language Processing/applied AI and research-driven problem solving alongside faculty and peers. Beyond that, I’m active in Sun Devil Robotics, ACM, and Women in Computer Science, where I collaborate on technical projects and keep sharpening my engineering fundamentals.

About Me

My name is Prisha Nag and I am a Junior at Arizona State University, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Data Science. As a third-year student, my goal is to continue investing in my growth and building expertise in technology and software. I’m committed to expanding my skills and passion for coding through active involvement in campus clubs and organizations. In the future, I aspire to own my own company, whether in the fitness or fashion, where I can leverage my background in software as a powerful tool for innovation and success.

Professional Experience

I am a fast learner with strong technical and communication skills. I have been working part time as a software developer for PrintPapa, where I developed a database to track company assets and explored AI technologies, including building large language models (LLMs) and working with frameworks such as Pandas, PyODBC, and PyTorch.

In addition to my technical work, I honed my professional communication skills by creating detailed daily progress reports and meeting with my manager to discuss updates, challenges, and next steps. This experience strengthened both my problem-solving abilities and my capacity to collaborate effectively in a professional environment.

Prior to my software position, I worked in PrintPapa’s warehouse as an intern, where I operated heavy machinery, managed production workflows, and adapted quickly to new procedures. My performance earned me a promotion from warehouse intern to software intern, a transition that reflected both my technical potential and my drive to learn at a higher level. Since then, I have been working as a software developer for over a year, gaining hands-on experience with databases, automation, and AI-driven solutions to contribute to the company’s technology initiatives.

Leadership & Discipline

One of my strongest skills is planning and organization, which connects to my discipline outside of work. I have been weightlifting for four years, never miss a day at the gym, and also play tennis, swim, started a run club, and practice yoga.

My knowledge of nutrition and commitment to fitness have allowed me to inspire others to pursue healthier lifestyles. This same discipline was key when I served as a director and choreographer for a small dance production for the North American Bengali Conference, teaching nearly 50 participants ranging from teenagers to adults. With many living hours apart, I created a system to assign choreography remotely, track progress online, and coordinate rehearsals through Google Calendar to achieve a smooth, successful performance.

Robotics & Teaching

In high school, I was part of the Gael Force Robotics club on the 5327U team, where we built a competition VEX robot for the 2021 VEX World's Change-Up National championships. Later, I coached middle-school students in Python and edited instructional coding videos for YCW. These experiences led to a position at Dublin Robotics, where I rose to lead coach and mentored middle school robotics teams that went on to win state championships in VEX Robotics.

Through this, I discovered my passion for teaching. I felt true satisfaction when I saw students’ minds “click” as I explained complex ideas.

Other Interests

Outside of academics and work, I am a Level 10 Certificate of Merit Pianist, play tennis, and enjoy photography. Another passion of mine is nutrition and healthy cooking: I spend a lot of time researching healthy habits, and preparing homemade meals to fulfill my gym and wellbeing goals. I am also working on an combined platform health app that helps users create daily nutrition plans based on their gym goals, alongside a personal website where I share healthy meals and my exercise routine.

Projects

PrintPapa AI-powered KPI Dashboard

7/30/2025 • Internship Project

I led the design and deployment of a KPI dashboard that gave leadership real-time visibility into performance metrics. I translated business requirements into technical solutions by building pipelines in Python, Pandas, and SQL Server, and then visualized insights in an interactive dashboard.

To take the system further, I integrated machine learning workflows, fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) and applying vector search to deliver AI-powered recommendations for intelligent sales tracking and forecasting.

This project required me to merge technical fluency in data engineering and machine learning with stakeholder collaboration, ultimately creating a tool that drove faster, data-driven decisions.

SQL Asset Categorization System

7/30/2024 • Internship Project

I engineered a SQL-based asset categorization and reporting system that organized hundreds of company assets into clear, queryable categories. I designed database schemas, implemented efficient queries, and built automation scripts to reduce hours of manual tracking into real-time insights.

By partnering with business and operations leads, I ensured the database not only reflected internal processes but also supported cross-functional reporting and product lifecycle management. This system became a backbone for accurate performance monitoring and highlighted my ability to apply database design, SQL optimization, and backend problem-solving to solve real-world business challenges.

AI Fitness & Nutrition tracking App

5/30/2025 • Personal Project

My passion for fitness has been a driving force in both my personal life and technical work. After years of self-learning about nutrition, weightlifting, and healthy lifestyle habits, I became frustrated with the limitations of popular fitness apps. Many had confusing user interfaces, lacked accurate nutritional information for beginners, or made tracking food and workouts unnecessarily complicated.

To address these gaps, I designed and built a fitness app that combined my knowledge of health and nutrition with my skills in data engineering and AI. On the backend, I created a structured SQL database to log calories, macronutrients, and workouts, ensuring users could track progress with clarity. To make food tracking seamless, I integrated a computer vision model that allowed users to snap a picture of their meal and instantly receive estimated nutritional breakdowns.

This project not only let me apply Python, SQL, and PyTorch in a real-world product, but also reflected my belief that technology should empower people—especially newcomers—to build healthier habits without confusion. By combining my personal dedication to fitness with technical expertise, I built a tool that is as much about usability and accessibility as it is about advanced AI.

VEX Robotics 5327D Competition Robot

4/12/2022 • Gael Force Robotics Club

This is the robot my competition team and I built and designed to compete in the 2022 VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas Texas. We utilized a tank drive over an x drive due to its consistency and to optimize turning. We also decided to use a more defensive strategy for gameplay, so the tank drive proved to be more stable. However, the most noticeable quality are the air tanks. We used air tanks and pneumatic tubes to securely lift mogos and balls. This method allowed us to consistently score points.

I learned many skills by being on team 5327D, such as reliability, innovative thinking, and leadership. I enjoyed my experience on this team and we all bonded as a team, allowing for us to go through wins and losses with a strong morale.

Data Quality Automation Toolkit (DQAT)

10/05/2025 • Portfolio Project

A full-stack data quality and anomaly detection platform built with FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and React. The system automatically cleans and normalizes messy datasets, matches schemas across sources, and detects anomalies using statistical and machine learning methods. Inspired by my work at PrintPapa, it validates data integrity with Great Expectations and exposes results through a REST API and dashboard.
