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.
My passion for technology started in childhood, surrounded by computers, software, and games. Although I initially pursued Science-Maths in high school, my true calling emerged when I discovered software development. Since then, I’ve been building projects and exploring cutting-edge technologies.
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! 🚀

Outside of work, I am Google’s WomenTechmaker Ambassador for NYC as well as GDG NYC Organizer; Champion Coach for JPM’s Women On The Move Network' and Fast Forward Small Business Mentor.
On a personal front, I love to read, dance to any good music and go on food tours around various cities.
