I have over 16 years of experience working in IT , predominantly in Services company. Started with SQL , C# , .Net and other Microsoft technologies. From last 5 years I am working on Java application development . I started my career in India , moved to Canada on a deputation and chose to stay back.
In my overall IT career so far I have worked on development projects on backend technologies mainly, delivering projects for clients and working on whatever came my way with little choice. You can say I was just going with the flow and unknowingly not paying attention to real learning. I never did any technical certification all I did was a bunch of Insurance domain certifications. Not to say that I did not learn executing and delivering projects. From 2018 I found myself less motivated to the kind of development work I have been doing, going to work was not exciting. Whenever I tried to think on what is it that I want to learn , I got overwhelemed with the information and plethora of technology options and career paths I saw.
Then came the pandemic threat and we were locked down. This gave many like me time to focus as there was no commute and other social activities to discract , btw I am a social person. September 2020 I finally settled on giving Machine Learning and Data Science a try. I purchased some books suggested by youtubers and started reading ..old fashioned learning. My idea was let me understand what is Machine Learning. As I read the books and broswed over articles and videos online this subject has captured my attention. I can say its very interesting. As I dived deeper I realized and still realizing that its a vast field and demands a lot of Maths and Statistics skills.
In this blog I am going to continue documenting my learning Monthly. I will start from the very beginning...
