Background

I’m passionate about the power of data science and AI to solve real-world challenges, and I’m equally passionate about helping aspiring professionals navigate this exciting and complex field. My journey has taken me through diverse roles – from deep technical application to strategic leadership – and I’m eager to share the lessons learned along the way. While I’ve recently founded my own venture, C7intelligence, focused on accelerating business value through data and AI, my primary goal here is to connect with and support emerging talent.

Motivation

My diverse background, spanning strategic leadership, AI architecture, hands-on ML/DL/RL application, generative AI, IoT, and team building, provides a broad perspective. I believe I can help you by: Bridging Theory and Practice: Sharing insights on how theoretical concepts translate into real-world projects and business impact. Navigating Career Paths: Discussing the different roles within data science (technical specialist, architect, strategist, leader) and how to develop the necessary skills. Tackling Complex Problems: Offering frameworks and perspectives for breaking down challenging technical or strategic issues. Understanding Industry Applications: Providing context on how AI/ML is used across different sectors (like smart home tech and industrial applications). Developing Strategic Thinking: Helping you see the bigger picture beyond the code or algorithm. Fostering a Growth Mindset: Encouraging continuous learning and adaptability in this rapidly evolving field.
