In my work as a Data Scientist, I've had to use a lot of clunky and counter intuitive
algorithms. Curious as to why these machine learning techniques worked the way they
do, I started teaching myself Statistics, Programming and Business. Almost immediately,
I knew this is what I wanted to do with my life. And I love to learn more!

My day at work starts with data extraction from database, cleaning the data , drawing
business insights and developing predictive models. Coding in Python, R has became a
daily routine.

“He who would search for Pearls must dive below"

Often one need to go deeper than the surface-level information to uncover the valuable
insights hidden beneath. I am sure that my curiosity and experience would serve as my
gills while I dive in search of pearls.
