Ship the evidence
A claim about skill is worth less than a working artifact. Every case study on this site runs live — dashboards you can filter, models you can drive, essays you can touch.
About
I design the interface and build the model behind it.
I’m Sumanth Udupi — a data scientist and product designer. Most teams hire those as two people and lose the insight in the hand-off. I work the whole path: the exploratory analysis, the model, the KPI layer, the dashboard, and the interface that makes all of it usable. This site is not a description of that practice — it is the practice, running in production.

How I work
The chart is an argument
Visualization is analysis, not decoration. Chart form, color, and layout are chosen by the question — and treated with the same rigor as the query underneath.
Both halves, one practice
Data work that ignores the interface dies in a notebook; interfaces that ignore the data are theatre. I work the full path: warehouse query → model → visualization → shipped product.
The arc of the work
2023 — 2024
Analytics foundations
An eight-project monorepo across the full analyst toolchain — Python EDA and modeling, SQL KPI layers, and executive dashboards in Tableau and Power BI. Every project shipped its dataset, its analysis, and a rendered deliverable together.
- Python
- SQL
- Tableau
- Power BI
2023 — 2024
Dashboards as products
A UX dashboard suite — Formula 1 analytics, a Pokédex explorer, an automobile dataset — each shipped as a self-contained, framework-free build that still opens in one click today.
- React
- Data viz
- GitHub Pages
2024
Data-visualization craft
A structured tour of visualization technique using seven decades of Formula 1 as the syllabus — chart-form judgment, perceptual color, and data storytelling documented as a reusable curriculum.
- matplotlib
- seaborn
- plotly
2025 — 2026
Product engineering
This site: an ink-and-gold design system, ten immersive design-history essays, and nine case studies that run live on the page — a data practice and a design practice built as one.
