So, here goes nothing.

Since the beginning of March, I’ve been working my full-time job from home (WFH) due to all this COVID-19. These WFH circumstances consequently give you an ample amount of time, in comparison to when you are at your workplace. Now that I had some spare time, I used it to reflect on my career.

While thinking about my career, I’ve always been fascinated with the field of Data Science but was always discouraged by thinking that it is only for people who are seasoned statisticians, or mathematicians, as the roots of data science go deep in these two fields. And trust me, I’m neither. But still, I wanted to give it a shot.

During this WFH period, my employer-sponsored our learning through coursera.com, which is a blessing in disguise. Now the only thing left is a will to talk the first step. I started scouting for programs on Coursera and also started researching what I needed to get started.
