It’s been over three months at my new job and I have already learnt a variety of new things. Working with a brilliant team of developers, I have been exploring the nitty-gritties of Spotfire and unraveling new functionalities every week. While there is a significant difference between the available functionalities for the client and web […]
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 […]

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. […]
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. […]
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.

There’s a reason I chose Statistics to be no. 10 and the first one in this countdown. When you want to enter the world of data science, you realize very quickly that you can do nothing without the concepts of statistics being clear in your head. The University of Texas at Dallas obviously understood this […]
Everybody Loves Recognition! Technically, the definition of recognition is – Identification of someone or something or person from previous encounters or knowledge. But how can it be used to solve real-world problems? This was the premise of a facial recognition project I built using Python and OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi. All the code for […]
