With availability of massive data and computation, Machine Learning (ML) and other spheres of artificial intelligence are growing at rapid rate. AI has become the demand of time and the need of the hour. To keep up, almost every company is either starting a new Data Science/Machine Learning department or expanding rapidly with multiple projects in pipeline. Now, we have more ML competitions and hackathons than ever recorded in the history.Everyday there are new courses focusing entirely on Python libraries and Machine Learning APIs. People are sharing latest machine learning (ML) algorithms, computations, graphs, charts and code snippets on a daily basis focusing technical aspects and implementations.

I started my MSc Business Analytics course at theh University of Surrey almost one year ago. I had no prior experience in Machine Learning or data science. Before, I used to develop and manage EU projects for businesses, local authorities and non-profit organisations. I even achieved two International awards for best project. However, I wanted to immerse in the technology field and be part of the great community which enhance business by developing the products and services of the future.
