About Me

“In God we trust; all others bring data.” ― W. Edwards Deming.
With the abundance of data in today's world, I aspire to be an empowered professional with vision and grace of building insight-driven solutions for enterprises to use data for strategic advantage.
Working as a Data Analyst for approximately 4 years, laid the foundation of my problem-solving, strong analytical, leadership, facilitation, communication and client/customer relationship management skills. As a part of innovation projects, I have involved in various Proof Of Concepts on tools and technologies in Hadoop, Big Data, Spark and Big Data Analytics on cloud infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
As a part of my graduate curriculum here at the University of Texas Dallas, I am focused on learning Data Science tools and techniques, Machine Learning, Neural Nets & Deep Learning techniques on the infrastructure configured on the cloud provided by IAAS (Infrastructure as a Service) providers like AWS & Azure.
I would especially like to mention here that I am also an AWS - certified Solution Architect Associate, EMC certified DataScience Associate and have various other certifications that I have earned from digital platforms like Udemy, Coursera, DataCamp, etc.
On a personal level, I am detail- oriented, organized, and precise in my work; the only thing cleaner than my room are my spreadsheets. I have strong communication & I am comfortable on my own facing the numbers, but I really enjoy being part of a motivated team of smart people.
