Hello · Kem cho?

Hi, I’m Komal.

I’m a Data Scientist and Co-Founder. I perform on stage, dance, and rarely say no to helping at a community event.

Those parts of my life may look unrelated, but they usually begin in the same place: I like understanding people and bringing them together.

Hobbeet

Building Hobbeet to help people find their tribe.

Most people have something they have been meaning to try. The difficult part is often finding the right people, the right place, or simply a reason to begin.

That is the idea behind Hobbeet: help an interest leave the screen and become something people actually do together.

As CEO, I think about the product, the people it is for, and how a small online invitation can lead to a real-world connection. The company is still growing, and so is my understanding of what it can become.

Data Science

I like data because it makes me ask better questions and find patterns.

I’m a data scientist, and I want to show that work properly here. That means more than naming tools or putting a model score on a page.

The interesting part is what happens before and after the model: deciding what to measure, noticing what is missing, and explaining what the result can and cannot tell us.

I am still choosing the project I want to tell in depth. When I do, I want to include the messy first version, the decision I made, and what I would improve today.

How I tend to work

Start with the questionWhat are we really trying to understand?
Look for the patternAnd notice what refuses to fit it.
Add the human contextNumbers still come from people and choices.
Make the answer usefulA result should help someone decide what to do next.

Ideas I keep coming back to

What can a model find that I missed?

I like finding patterns, but I also want to understand what shaped them.

Dance, theatre, and community

Movement is one of the ways I feel most like myself.

Garba feels like home. I know the music, the circle, and the feeling of an entire room moving together.

Western dance gives me room to try something unfamiliar. Theatre asks for something different again: listen for the cue, trust the scene, and trust the people beside you.

I also volunteer at cultural events. I am just as happy helping behind the scenes as I am being on stage, because the best events are made by many hands.

Murder mysteries

I will always make time for a good mystery.

I love stories that make me pause, go back, and question the person I trusted first. I am also interested in what data can reveal about crime stories: how clues are placed, when suspicion shifts, and whether a model can tell a red herring from a useful detail.

Clear ice

Ice can hold a memory.

A rose held inside a clear block, revealed a little differently each time the ice turns.

I am building a premium clear-ice company. I want to make ice that feels considered, not just cold, but clear, beautiful, and made for a moment people will remember.

This rose is an early product idea: something delicate, held inside a clear block and revealed as the ice turns.
