5-in-5 with Senior Data Scientist Nikhil Ninan - Arria NLG

As a Senior Data Scientist I participate in three activities – technical pre-sales, professional services and core technology. I engage on a day-to-day basis with potential clients as a pre-sales technical consultant supporting the sales team globally to understand client problems related to data and reporting. Pre-sales engagements involve building rapid prototypes and managing the development team on rapid prototyping of potential applications to illustrate how Arria NLG's technology can solve clients' data reporting issues. I also spend time working as part of a team delivering on multiple platform projects, performing the role of a data guru. I also work very closely with Arria's Chief Data Scientist to champion data science internally within the organization as well as define and design the articulate analytics' vision for Arria's Core Technology.
