I’m a Master’s student in Computer Science at Northeastern University (Silicon Valley campus), graduating in May 2023. Cross-validated is my personal blog to keep track of my projects and different HOWTOs related to data and tech.

I’m passionate about Data Analytics and Data Science and recently discovered that I enjoy coding. Since Data Engineering is at the intersection of both Data Science and Software Engineering - both fields that I love - I decided to concentrate in Data Engineering.

I have strong programming skills in Python and currently learning AWS, Spark, Hadoop and MapReduce. I have solid understanding of Machine Learning and Databases (Oracle, MongoDB, Redis). My previous school projects also involved Node.js, Bootstrap, Java, C++.

Before enrolling to my Master’s program, I got a PhD in Political Science and worked as a Managing Editor for online analytical journal. During my previous career in academia, I developed strong analytical, communication and management skills. I also have completed a number of Data Science specializations online.

I am the person who takes initiative and stays curious.
