about me
Hi, I am Raj Mehta. I am a graduate of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,
with a Master of Science in Business Analytics(MSBA). With 3 years of work experience
in the field of Data Analytics, Data Science and Machine Learning, I am passionate about analyzing,
managing and visualizing data.
I thrive on being the bridge between raw data and the valuable insights it holds.
I enjoy deciphering what the data is trying to tell us and turning it into something that drives decision making.
Beyond coding and work, you'll mostly find me outdoors playing sports and swimming. I also enjoy hiking, enjoying sunsets and working out. I strongly believe in the importance of diverse experiences beyond studying because learning comes from all aspects of life. I thrive on exploring new things, constantly seeking opportunities to learn and grow in every possible way!
