Hello, I'm

Disha Santhosh

I am a Data Scientist

A software engineer and data professional with 3 years of backend experience, recently graduated with an M.S. in Information Management (Data Science) from the University of Washington — building scalable systems, interpretable ML, and LLM-powered products.

Projects.

A mix of shipped products, published research, and agentic AI systems — the common thread is turning messy real-world signals into something reliable.

Cart Check

Product

A grocery price-comparison web app that uses LLM APIs to parse shopping lists and match items across stores, helping shoppers find the cheapest cart. Built end-to-end: UI, API integration, and prompt design.

Explaining Time-Series Models

M.S. Capstone

A faithfulness benchmark of temporal saliency methods — SHAP, Gradient Saliency, and WinIT — across TCN and LSTM architectures on PhysioNet 2012 (clinical) and PAMAP2 (wearable sensor) data. Built the full training, explainability, and evaluation pipeline.

Atrial Fibrillation Detection

Published research

A deep learning tool for detecting atrial fibrillation from RR intervals using a hybrid CNN + LSTM architecture, reaching 97.6% accuracy. Published in IEEE Xplore — the work that started my interest in clinical ML and interpretability.

DevOps Automation Agent

Agentic AI

A multi-repo DevOps agent that automates infrastructure workflows using Kiro CLI, AWS MCP servers, and Terraform — turning routine cloud operations into reviewable, repeatable agent runs.
