After obtaining a Ph.D. in Mathematics, I spent some time in academia before deciding to apply my quantative and analytical problem-solving skills to business problems.
I started my "Big Data" career in the Data Analytics team at Adknowledge, where I quickly became the "go to" person for writing and optimizing complex SQL queries and generating reports--both ad-hoc and automated reports. I also built several analytic tools that facilitated analysis and visualization of large datasets in or near databases and distributed systems.
I'm currently a Data Scientist at BA Services.
