About Me
I got acquainted to Data Science as a career choice during Junior year of my bachelors after being exposed to Matlab. My curiosity for knowledge led me to learn R and eventually Python. My strong foundation in Mathematics (thanks to my Bachelors in Engineering degree) supported my career choice. I soon landed an internship as a Data Science Intern at a fintech startup Tino IQ. This opportunity focused mainly on Data Collection, Preprocessing and Analysis for algorithmic trading. Being my first formal footstep in the field, I gained immense knowledge in the Financial Technology domain. I decided to pursue my Master’s in Computer Science to further develop my foundational skills in programming and to specialize in the field of Data Science. The many undergraduate courses taken at California State University Fullerton (CSUF) before starting with my graduate courses has instilled confidence in Data Structures, Algorithms and Programming. The numerous academic & personal projects and research performed during my five semesters at CSUF has supported my growth in the field. While pursuing my Masters’, I landed a golden opportunity at ASML as a Data Analytics & Visualization Intern in Summer 2019. This opportunity allowed me to network and chat with some of the best minds in the company and the Silicon industry. My work involved performing Failure Analysis on the complicated EUV machines to forecast maintenance and hence reduce downtime. I have always engaged myself in Continuous Learning to stay updated professionally and personally evident from the courses I have completed. I also believe that Data Science does not just require Programming and/or Statistics Skills but also the knowledge of the domain on which it is applied for. Hence, I have always strived to become a Generalist and not a Specialist.
