Bhavik Chopra, Computer Science Graduate Student

Hi, I’m Bhavik — a Data Scientist at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and an Organizer for Google Developer Group (GDG) NYC, where I foster a thriving tech community through events like GDG NYC DevFest and Cloud Study Jams on Google Cloud and Terraform.

I hold a Master’s in Computer Science from Pace University and a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering from Silver Oak University, where I actively contributed to the tech community through DSC Silver Oak (Google Developers) and various IEEE leadership roles.

Today, I merge my technical expertise with my love for community building—whether through data science innovations at MTA, improving NYC transit for 6M+ daily riders, or empowering developers through GDG NYC events.

Let’s connect and create something impactful together! 🚀
