Data Science Skills

Data Science Skills = Diversity Thinking = Database Skills + Domain Perspectives + Data Science thinking hat + Possibilities with available data

Bridging Birds Eye + Available Features + Expectations from customers is a refinement of picking the best of ideas, quick experimentation. Practitioner's perspective to apply multiple context/patterns is ongoing learning.

Myth of Expertise

  • Big data - Current Trends
  • NLP - Current Trends
  • Vision - Current Trends
  • GAN - Current Trends
  • Transformers - Current Trends

Knowing vs Doing

  • Prototypes in Current Trends
  • Projects with Current Trends
  • Go-Live with Current Trends

Knowing vs Doing vs Delivering vs Connecting the Dots is a different Skill. 

I look to solve a selected set of problems with four hats

  • Database Developer/ BI perspectives
  • Data Science Perspective
  • ML Algos Perspectibes
  • Customers Perspective what makes sense

It is a mix of all these thoughts that makes up a use case. One Skill does not make things happen. Unfortunately, these don't stand up in your profile but are even harder to measure relevant skills vs practical implications

Keep Thinking!!!
