About
The highlight of the first lecture of my Master’s Program in which my professor stated that ‘The world is facing an era of Data Explosion’. His statement echoed in my mind for days and I still remembe... r that lecture, which highlighted the need for an intelligent system which can retrieve Information out of Big Data. During my MS in Computer Science, I was so attracted to data science that explaining its concepts became my passion. Since then, I have been working in the field of Data Science. I
wanted to teach the advancements of this field to the students yearning to learn it. Explaining the concepts of Data Science to beginners gives me the utmost
satisfaction.
My ability to explain complex concepts was first acknowledged when I explained my
Final-Year-Project to an interviewer at the career expo during Bachelor. I was the only
student selected by an organization because they loved my way of explaining the
project. Since then, I have been teaching AI concepts to my peers. In 2013, I taught AI to a group of students who opted for the same FYP idea that I had chosen. I was overwhelmed to teach them optical flow, motion trajectories, expectation maximization and similar other concepts. I visited them regularly and also taught them coding of these algorithms. In 2015, I went to Thailand to conduct a one-week workshop at Software Park, Phuket. It was an extraordinary experience for me. I extremely enjoyed teaching the Data Lifecycle concepts to a class of 25 practitioners. I interacted with every student in the classroom and helped them individually to code the algorithms I taught. These events have helped me choose data science teaching for my career goal. My ultimate career objective is to become a Data Science Trainer.
In summer 2022, I taught Machine Learning models to a class of professionals at The Canadian College remotely. I helped them practicing the algorithms in Python and also worked on practical applications of them.read more
