In an attempt to practice my analytics coding skills, I thought I’ll put them to work in a topic that interests and affects many people across the globe. So, I used Python, NLP (natural language processing), matplotlib, seaborn, WordCloud, and Tweepy, to perform some basic analysis followed by a round of sentiment analysis on data […]

Last summer I worked with a Game of thrones dataset for a visualization project. I was planning to revisit that dataset to unravel some more mysteries, when it occurred to me that I should look for something similar with my current favorite – The Office. I found this wonderful dataset of lines from the show. […]
I have been maintaining a countdown to graduation on a white board in my room. I started 616 days ago. This board has witnessed my journey more closely than anyone or anything else. It has seen the hundreds of activities I planned. It knows the ones that I checked off with a sense of pride […]
One of the advantages of the Information Technology and Management program at The University of Texas at Dallas is that it has the perfect curriculum design for learning the fundamentals of many pillars of IT. Of course, it is important to pick one focus and develop your skills in it. But with every passing day, […]
I was always fascinated with the idea of working on-campus. I did not want to take a risk in the first year of my education at The University of Texas at Dallas as I was back to school after a decade. It made sense to get into the groove with assignments and exams without any […]

The first voice, that has the personality of a sane, organized, professional human, encourages me to focus on numbers and metrics, and sticking to the point, and tweaking the Resume as per corporate guidelines, and following pre-defined templates, […]
My on-and-off relationship with Python began a few months before I started my Master’s degree. When I knew that I was going to turn towards IT, it was a no brainer that I had to raise my coding game. I had learned C programming during my engineering days but that was almost a decade ago. […]
“Be who you are” – such a simple thing to say and yet so difficult to follow. My fourth article in this series is about just that. For those of you who are not familiar with me – I spent the last decade trying to make it in Bollywood. While I acted in a bunch […]
I had understood very early on while learning the basics of data science that the three pillars of a sturdy analytics structure are statistics, a programming language, and database management. So, after covering the first two in my previous posts, it’s natural that I move to database foundations. During Fall 2018, I started learning the […]
