Roodra Kanwar

Data Scientist at IBM

I am a data scientist by day, superhero by night. Psych! I wish I was that cool. Only the former part is true which is still pretty cool! I believe in constant learning and it is an essential part of being a productive data enthusiast. I am also pursuing my masters in computer science from Simon Fraser University specializing in Big Data. Moreover, knowledge is transfer learning (pun intended!) and what I have gained, I plan on reflecting it back to the data community.
