Data Scientist

I’m a passionate data science educator whose goal is to learn by teaching innovative data science tools that can improve our day-to-day tasks and our quality of life. My interests are in Natural Language Processing: text classification, summarization, and generation. Research can take a long time because there are a lot of resources and new opinions posted every day. Having tools to summarize and extract the information can save a lot of time. I hope we can all learn, approve, and apply the data science tools to cut down on the repetitive and tedious tasks, to make more informed decisions in life, to differentiate fake from real, and to open communication spaces to language-diverse or hearing-impaired audiences. The applications are limitless! My personality: I am a foodie and I love cooking and learning different cuisines. I also love travelling and connecting with people by learning a little bit of their language, about their food and music. I hold Data Science and Analytics master’s degree, specializing in Machine Learning, from University of Calgary.

As early as I could remember, I was obsessed with figuring out how things work. Unfortunately for my parents, this often meant taking things apart to see what was inside and not being able to put it back together again, or putting copper wires into electrical outlets to see what would happen (to spare you from trying it yourself, it turns out the result is very bright and loud). This sometimes dangerous curiosity would eventually turn into a passion for physics which I would go on to study at the University of Toronto. I loved the process of gathering data, analyzing it, looking for patterns, and coming to a conclusion. I soon discovered that much of the procedures used to understand our physical universe follow a similar pattern in other aspects and domains of our world. This led me into the path of data science, where we could leverage our curiosity, analytical skillset, and love of discovery to come up with solutions to real world problems. I was hooked and I knew this joy of discovery is best shared. This put me on a mission to make the wonders of data science available to anyone and everyone who wished to learn it, thankfully made all the more accessible with the meteoric rise of online learning.
