I’m working as an Associate Data Engineering Analyst at Optum Insights – The UnitedHealth Group. I have been with the firm for the past 1.3 years, and I have been part of the Data Acquisition Team. I was planning to pursue my master’s degree, and I was working towards that.
My biggest challenge was to manage time between work and studies, and I believe I’m doing my best for that.
As stated before, I’m planning for my master’s. So, this PGP AIML program will add value to my profile in terms of admission, and that’s why I chose this program.
Also, as the situation is uncertain due to COVID, even if I couldn’t pursue my master’s, I can start my career as a Data Scientist. So, this is the reason why I chose this course. And I’m already used to online learning/ self-learning, so this is quite easy for me.
The mentoring sessions helped us clarify our doubts and have an interactive discussion with our peers and the mentor. So, this helps us enhance our knowledge. The mentor has quite deep and real-world knowledge of the tools and technology, so this helps us understand the real-world application.
Concerning the self-learning that we did over the recorded sessions and the shared materials. The questions that we came across were addressed by the mentor, and this helped us understand the concepts better.
Fair knowledge and use of Python, EDA, Understanding the business questions. Machine Learning Techniques and so on.
First, we need to understand the basis of the concepts and how the techniques are used (which algorithm to use when), and then we should start using them in the project.
