Shubham Upreti - Economics & Data Science Portfolio

About Me

I'm a sophomore at Franklin & Marshall College pursuing a double major in Economics and Data Science, with a 3.9 GPA and Honor's List recognition. My academic journey combines rigorous quantitative training with hands-on research experience.

From conducting high-level policy research at the Central Bank of Nepal to analyzing complex datasets for international organizations, I bring a unique blend of economic theory, statistical rigor, and real-world application to every project.

I'm fluent in three languages (Python, R, SQL) and have experience working across South Asia and remotely with US-based research institutions. As President of the Economics Club, I'm committed to promoting financial literacy and creating opportunities for fellow students.
