What helped me get a data science job that fits my ambitions – part 1: resources

Almost 2 years ago, I took the decision to quit my job as a software engineer and to start looking for a job in the machine learning field. Right away after quitting my job, I wrote an article in my blog Up to my new Tech challenges and from there the journey started. In this article, I'm happy to share how I landed the job I dreamt of. Yeah, I got it! I've been working as a Data Scientist for Remerge, in Berlin, for one year. Choose the right courses First off, it's important to assimilate core concepts and techniques in machine learning / Data Science, so I started on some main courses online: Machine Learning Specialization, university of Washington, Coursera: This specialization, taught by two Amazon Professors, is a good…

Up to my new tech challenges!

challenges, Technology

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"!

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…
