"Every search begins with beginner's luck and every search ends with the victor's being severely tested" - The Alchemist
I am a data person with a strategic mindset and a passion for data, who is eager to be an expert in the latest and greatest analytics tools we oversee and utilize to inform business decisions. I am a recent graduate from Syracuse university with a Master's in Information Management along with a C.A.S. in Data Science.
I realized that I love to analyze large data sets and develop custom models to uncover trends, patterns, and insights in customer and business data. This realization hit me harder when I started to work as a research data analyst at iSchool where I performed data acquisition, data wrangling and implementation of the Smart Grid Modernization Plans in the United States.
This process of learning and facing challenges made me secure an internship as a Data Analyst at Pacific Gas and Electric (PGE) Company, San Francisco in Summer 2019. My days at PGE in the Customer Solutions department taught me the necessity of analytics and science of data that can also be used in helping save people’s lives. My manager’s frequent update on the usage of the product designed by me and the benefits reaped by the customers kept me motivated.
Along with my research, the various projects implemented by my team and I make me want to dive deeper into the field of Data Analytics and Science. Also, the numerous avenues on the internet taught me the depth and crux of Data that also contribute to it. These accomplishments put together with my outstanding performance at school earned me the Graduate Excellence Award in Spring 2020.
I am looking forward to commencing my career in Data Analytics and Science. Given a chance, I would love to explain more about me and my work in detail. Please reach me at sebalaji@syr.edu
