I am a seasoned Data Scientist/Analyst with a rich experience spanning two years in the field. Over the past year, I have proudly contributed my skills and expertise to the dynamic teams of both Data Science (Personalisation - ML) and Data Engineering at McAfee. My journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a passion for transforming data into meaningful, concrete insights.

My proficiency in SQL, Python, Spark, my ability to figure out a way around blockers on the go, and my decisiveness with sound reasoning has been the cornerstone of my success, enabling me to extract, analyze, and interpret data with precision. My adeptness in these tools has empowered me to spearhead feature engineering projects, playing a pivotal role in enhancing the value of data and optimizing its use for strategic decision-making.

One of my significant accomplishments includes being a key contributor to the establishment of a feature store at McAfee. 
As we all know, from start to end, 70% of time in most Machine Learning projects is spent on finding out correct POCs within the company, communicating with them to acquiring the correct data and also understanding it, predicting probable metrics to be obtained from it, and then performing the pre-processing. 
Developing a feature store involved a lot of Feature Engineering, gaining close familiarity with the raw data, understanding the business and performing a lot of SQL intricacies, not to forget a lot of internal communication. The objective was to cut down on the preprocessing time and provide Data Scientists 
with data they could rapidly build prototypes upon without having to worry about the entire logistics of how it came to be. The nature of this 'pre-processed' data was that it could support a lot of Data Science efforts, since this data captured the essential behavior of our customers. 

This innovative solution has not only streamlined workflows but has also facilitated the acceleration of data-driven innovation within the organization.

Motivated by my unwavering commitment to continuous growth and a thirst for knowledge, I am eager to expand my horizons into the realms of Data Engineering and Data Science. Drawing upon my foundation in analytics and my proficiency in key technologies, I am excited to take on new challenges and leverage my skill set to drive transformative insights and solutions.

In essence, my journey reflects a fusion of experience, technical prowess, and an unrelenting desire to create value from data.

Data Product Manager

Data Scientist

After finishing my own skills development process, I started taking on freelancing projects from professionals and businesses of different fields. I also took time to train people who wanted to be data analysts or data scientists.

In a short time, I decided to organize my work by establishing a platform with the name of Witful Data. This platform aimed to bring together professionals and businesses who wanted to learn and use data science and analytics to reach their goals. It sounded like a great idea back in the day. A data business that helped businesses do it all. It sounded too good to be true and it actually was. I sadly failed to make this business reach its goals. 

This failure was partially due to my lack of focus. The array of services I provided were just too broad. It lacked specialization. My outreach was low. It seemed like the project as a whole was doomed. Yet, in those dark hours, a new light appeared before me. 

I decided to specialize in one area: Data & AI Product Management. 

With the lessons I learned from my mistakes and a new decision, I built Witful Vision to help businesses build the next awesome and efficient Data | AI product.
