My Artificial Intelligence Engineer Career path – Bhairab, Accenture

Artificial Intelligence is still in its nascent stage when it comes to industrial applications. With new advancements and increased inclination of enterprises to adopt AI solutions, there is a great scope for AIML professionals to build a successful career in these fields.
How did your career grow after joining GL?
I had completed my Engineering from NIT, Kurukshetra in 2013 and joined ATOS as a BI Analyst where I was mostly working with ETL process, reporting tools like Tableau, query languages SQL, etc. for about 2.5yrs. I realized that I have some gaps grasping advanced visualizations techniques, issue with comprehend data handling, etc and also there were lots of misconception around data science, machine learning. So I wanted to upskill myself and joined Great Learning. The course content is amazing and covers all the required set of concepts from very scratch. The assignment evaluation and query solving team are very helpful and proactive. While pursuing the BABI PG course, I got into actual data science related work at ATOS as a Data Scientist and then switched to Scientist Technology as an AI Engineer. Currently, I am working with Accenture AI R&D as an AI Product Data Scientist.
How did our program manager help you select the right course?
While working with ATOS I wanted to upskill myself. I was looking for the best courses available in the market. Meanwhile, my friend suggested me Great Learning and I got in touch with the program manager, who based on my non-programming background suggested me to join BABI PG program.
How was your overall experience with the program?
Initially, it was a bit difficult for me to catch-up and extract good learning from the program. But with the help of faculty, some of whom were Industry Experts, I gradually started picking up. Also, the assignments and projects gave me a good hold of the subject. Overall it was a fun experience.
What is your current role? Was GL’s PG BABI course helpful in shaping your current role?
Currently, I am into the Artificial Intelligence Domain. I am using Python to develop machine learning and deep learning models, visualization, and other state-of-the-art implementations. The learning at GL helped me develop interesting insights about this field. After completing the course, I was invited as a Guest Speaker to address students on AIML by NIT Patna, a premium institute of Central India. So, the training helped me to upskill myself and give it back to the community in terms of knowledge sharing.
Any advice to future aspirants?
Your career will boost only when you put in your efforts to the best you can. This Institute will give you a Brand, a tag, top-notch faculty, mentors, projects, great study material and so on, which will materialize only when you give your 100%.
