Accounting mindset. Data-driven answers.

I'm Meghav Darji — a BBA (Accounting) student at Yorkville University building a career at the intersection of accounting, finance, and data analytics. I like real datasets, real errors, and figuring things out hands-on.

01 · About

How I work

I'm studying accounting because I like when numbers reconcile — and I'm learning data analytics because most numbers worth understanding don't live in a single spreadsheet anymore. I learn by building: setting up my own PostgreSQL and Python environment, loading real datasets, breaking things, and fixing them — not by watching tutorials from the sidelines.

Right now I'm running the same analytical questions across multiple tools — SQL, then Python with pandas, then Power BI, then R — on a shared dataset, so I understand not just how each tool works, but when to reach for which one.
