Data Science and MLOps @ UPS • Rogue Data Scientist • Continuous Improvement Leader • Animal Welfare Advocate
Our problems aren't unique, and we learn better together. Here, I share my honest insights and unfiltered learnings.
Hi, I'm Namrata!I am a value-driven data scientist and MLOps engineer. I build smart tools for advanced analytics, uncover and share data stories, develop and deploy high-performing predictive models from large datasets to find value-generating opportunities. I'm a strong proponent of continuous improvement and don't shy away from challenging the status quo.I specialize in data-driven decision support for Finance, Marketing, and Customer Experience. R, Python, SQL, and Google Cloud Platform are my current tools of choice. I also shadow as a Data Engineer from time to time... Because let's face it, a solid data foundation is a prereq for good Data Science.I have a decade of professional experience and currently work as the Manager of Data Science (and Lead Data Scientist) for FP&A Decision Support at UPS. I am also the co-founder and host of the Data Science Hangout ✨at UPS (very much inspired by Posit).I spent some time pursuing my quest to add value to as many data journeys as possible through 1:1 and group mentoring to bridge the gap between data and business literacy and solve business problems in the REAL world. Rogue Data Science (my blog) is an attempt to combine my love for learning, data, and writing. I'm still finding the balance between working with data and talking about it [I tend to gravitate to the former].But our problems aren't unique, and we learn better together. So I do my best to share my honest insights and unfiltered learnings. More often than not, I pick up a thing or two along the way.I do what I do simply because I find mental peace in the data world. Some play video games, I play with data. I believe that data-driven decisions can and should exist even outside of the confines of our professional lives. Truth is, it's not the math behind data science that draws me. It's the art... the art of answering unasked questions and solving problems that don't always have a right answer.I'm an advocate for animal welfare. I love animals in all shapes and sizes. I dabble in the arts from time to time... creativity serves as an antidote to my 'brain pain' and existential void. I am married to my best friend. We have three large dogs and a cat.I'm a work in progress with no finish line in sight. I am learning continuously in the pursuit of excellence and exploring the world through the eyes of an animal-loving, data scientist gone rogue.Disclaimer: My online activity represents my personal opinion and not my employer's.
