My Academic Quest Log

Currently immersed in the deep end! Tackling advanced machine learning, sophisticated statistical modeling, and the nitty-gritty of data-driven research. This is where theory meets complex application.

Story Time: Getting into this program felt like unlocking a secret level! I applied a bit late but managed to convince the Head of Department with my passion and prior experience. Persistence is key, even in academia!

This was my intensive data science bootcamp experience – think coding dojo meets data analysis! A whirlwind of Python, deep learning dives, visualization techniques, and project-based learning that really solidified my practical skills.

Highlight: Built a financial forecasting model here – my first real taste of predicting the future with code (no crystal ball required, thankfully).

My official entry into the tech world! This laid the crucial groundwork, covering everything from database management fundamentals and programming logic (hello, Python and SQL!) to networking concepts and system design.

Key Takeaway: Learned how systems talk to each other, which is surprisingly useful when trying to get different data sources to cooperate!

Where it all began! Focused on sciences and mathematics, unknowingly forging the analytical mindset needed for a future filled with data puzzles. Also, learned the valuable skill of surviving boarding school food (a feat in itself!).

Fun Fact: Was already tinkering with computers back then, probably spending too much time trying to understand how games worked.
