Up to my new tech challenges!

You have certainly heard about that unique thing, which changes your life and makes it magic, beautiful. It can be a person, a situation, a hardship, a moment of discovery.. so called "The Spark"! It all started three or four years ago when I discovered those intelligent features in my Smartphone "Samsung Galaxy S3": social tag, smart stay, smart alert and S voice. Many questions were coming to my mind about those features, I was so curious about what's behind their functionalities and how humans succeeded in developing such intelligent technologies! At that time, I was studying computer science engineering and wondering which option modules to take for the last semesters. So, I decided to study "decision making and artificial intelligent (AI) systems" as an option for my last two…

Data Natives Berlin 2016 day 2

My activities, Technology

Berlin, October 28th, Data Natives day 2. It was about tech trends, including numerous topics: Deep learning, Source code abstracts, analyzing and searching unstructured Medical Data, smart-data based lending, intelligent hiring, and more. Klaas Bollhoefer, Chief Data scientist at *um, tackled the gap between several departments in a traditional company and took the example of "operational gap" study, made for one of *um clients. He demonstrated how *um approached Metro Group issue: what does Metro need to do to become a leading analytics-driven omni-channel retailer. Among that, Klaas stated that "every company requires unique capabilities" in order to reach Data Maturity level and achieve digital transformation. For that, a bottom up approach should be done for analytics in order to explore the framing of any company. That means taking care of…

Data Natives Berlin 2016 Day 1

My activities, Technology

My journey in Berlin started with two days enjoying its winter landscape and counting days down to the conference for which I was determined to do the whole trip from my country, Tunisia in order to attend. Thursday, here it is! Data Natives opened its doors! I got up that same morning very excited to meet people sharing with me the passion for technology! I already discussed with some of them on twitter,like Lisa Winter and Evelyn Münster, so I was eager to get to know them. Looking at the schedule, it was difficult to choose which talks to join since all of them were interesting. There were subjects about Visualizing and Communicating High Dimensional Data, Clustering Data, Big Data Semantics, Connected things, and much more here. Besides, as Artificial Intelligence is a field…

Endless learning ways

Around ambitions

What I enjoy most in my field of working, is that ability to learn at your own pace. Whatever subject you are curious about, you can be sure that there is a way to do so. We have endless resources to learn, and satisfy our curiosity, our passion! I do consider "Coursera" as the best platform to take online courses in prestigious worldwide universities and this is without any cost-if you choose to just gain the knowledge, not the certificate. There is a lot more of resources like udacity, topcoder, hackerrand,etc. Software engineering is leading the World, changing our habits, and exceeding Human expectations! I really enjoy having the opportunity to participate in making the difference, as a software engineer. I'm living a continuous increasing curiosity and learning curve because it's all about…

Tunisia Women Hack Day

My activities

Two days ago, I was invited in one of the most popular Tunisian radio stations "Express Fm" to speak about a first time event in Tunisia, Women Hack Day. As its name suggests, it's for every woman who's interested in coding. You may ask why is it just for women? Well, just keep reading and you will find the answer. Let's start with a story. I remember when I was eager to try a Hackathon during my university studies because I like being challenged. As usual, I want to discover my own limits and push them even further. Fortunately, the opportunity presented itself with "Google INSAT Club", and I didn't think twice. So, I was looking for my colleagues, especially girls, to compete with me because (as you probably know) teaming up…

From a dream to a way of making it true with Toptal

Around ambitions

I've been working as a software engineer, SAP ABAP Developer, since November 2014. My work involves an international client "SAP French Labs" which is the most interesting part for me, because I want to grow in an international environment and interact with people all over the World. Thus, enabling me to widen my Network and strengthen my knowledge. I do believe that a software engineer is not just a "developer". Software engineering involves interaction with client in order to understand and better satisfy his needs, besides collaboration among a team. That's why, I have been actively seeking for Computer Science Network since the beginning of my computer engineering university studies. Back to my technical skills, among my current team we are working with Agile methodology "SCRUM" so that our client…
