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 data science leader focused on translating complex enterprise systems into interpretable frameworks for decision support. With a decade of experience, my work bridges business realities with applied statistics, advanced analytics and machine learning.I specialize in deconstructing organizational problems, building scalable experimentation systems, and establishing data architecture for machine learning deployment. I thrive at the intersection of rigorous problem definition and creative analytical exploration, taking a research-first approach to data.R, Python, SQL, and Google Cloud Platform are my current tools of choice. My focus on ethics, data governance and engineering is non-negotiable - Being a good human and having a solid data foundation are prereqs for good data science and beyond.I'm currently the Director of Data Science and Machine Learning for Global Human Resources at UPS, leading the strategy for the human side of analytics. I am also the founder and host of the Data Science Hangout at UPS (a community of learning inspired by Posit).I'm passionate about the culture of data, bridging the gap between technical and business literacy to solve real-world problems. 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.I find mental peace in the data world. I believe data-driven decisions should exist outside the confines of our professional lives. 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 (using math!).In a world full of confirmation bias, I try to live by Wonko the Sane’s philosophy: see first, think later, then test. Even if it means uncovering the unexpected or looking a bit foolish in the process.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 consider myself a work in progress with no finish line in sight. I learn continuously in the pursuit of excellence and explore 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.
