Shane Thakkar

I’m Shane. I work with data, and the bar I try to hold on every project is the same: do work I’d be proud to put my name on.

Most recently I spent six months as a Business Intelligence Intern at Legends Global in Frisco, where the work meant pulling million-row exports out of point-of-sale systems across professional sports venues, cleaning them, finding the story inside them, and getting that story in front of stakeholders in a form they could actually act on. I had earlier analytics stints at Supreme Lending and TruGen.

I graduated from UT Dallas in May 2026 with a B.S. in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, data science track. I work in Python, SQL, and R, and I care about the parts of the job that don’t show up in screenshots: the schema you didn’t have to redo, the assumption you wrote down before the model ran, the report that still made sense a quarter later.

Outside the work I’m a Chicago sports fan, which has trained me well for projects where the data tells you exactly what’s about to go wrong and you decide to keep believing anyway.

Open to the next problem worth solving.
