I am an experienced Data Scientist with a strong passion for solving problems using Data Science. I have 8 years of professional experience working in the manufacturing, facilities and healthcare domain. I have also worked on various data science projects in other domains (finance, energy, gaming, IT services, etc.). My specialties include anomaly detection, image classification, statistical modeling. I am also a certified Brown-Belt in Lean Six Sigma Statistical methodologies with experiences in project & stakeholder management. My transition to data science wasn't easy as I faced several rejections until I finally landed one at the end of 2014. My approach to data science is not to work harder or smarter but to work on the right things. I leveraged many personal projects and put together my own curriculum from material that suited my goals, background and learning style. I enjoy interacting with students and professionals and helping them transition to data science. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you need guidance.
