Why I love working at CoreCompete

-
I joined  CoreCompete  on  Feb 18, 2013 Monday. It has been a great learning and exciting experience. When I walked into Banjara Hills, Hyderabad office of Core Compete (now shifted to Gachibowli, 3rd office) only thought in my mind was did I take wise decision by choosing Core Compete over a global giant.  Today, I can say that it was the best professional decision I have taken. I feel proud and amazed when I think about our growth from 4 to 200+ in period of 6 years in the niche business of advance analytics and big data technology and recognized as fastest growing consulting organisation in North America (http://www.consultingmag.com/fastest-growing-firms-2016/  ) for last three consecutive years.

Yes, we are growing fast, but that’s not the only reason that I love working at Core Compete.  In last 6 years I worked for multiple clients across multiple domain using different advance analytical techniques and technology platform.I got opportunity to work in different domains from banking to manufacturing at global locations from Jordan to USA.  In the customer projects, I have played different role in different projects which gave me opportunity to think about a project in different perspective.  Above and below charts (as of 2016) speak about my learning experience at Core Compete regarding customer projects. These charts requires an update for last 2 years.


I have myself in my techno-functional role used SAS, Spark, Python, R, VBA, Tableau etc. to deliver data science applications for our Customers. I never thought that I will be able to run analytics workload on thousands of containers in parallel.

At Core Compete, I got freedom to express my ideas and implement it.  I got opportunity to see how a successful and growing organisation is built. I also learnt how to carry forward and inculcate the desire for innovation and value creation for professional success and contribution to the society. The open culture at Core Compete helped me to grow professionally and personally.  In fact, at Core Compete, I got opportunity to present our work at external forums, both industry as well as academic platforms. 

At Core Compete, I always feel being guided by exceptional leaders and surrounded by unprecedented talents. The journey we started six years ago having SAS as key technology platform has culminated to 200+ SAS certifications, 120+ AWS Certifications, 70+GCP certifications and 30+ Horton works certifications. The process of skill development on these niche area is a continuous process at Core Compete and that's the key promise of the organization to its employees.

2018 plan for getting expertise in Machine Learning and Deep Learning

-
Machine Learning and deep learning are next frontier in the world of innovation. These skill sets are high in demand and demand is going to increase further as we are moving towards a world with connected systems. Although I am experienced professional with SAS having multiple SAS certifications and  using SAS for programming, predictive model building, optimization and data visualization for more than seven years, I will be foolish I do not recognize how important it is to adopt open source platforms for innovation.  2018 plan to acquire expertise in these are are 1. Choose a programming language and I have chose python as my language of preference  2. Do hands on practice to be efficient in Pandas and Numpy. These two libraries are useful and very important for data exploration,wrangling and data cleaning. I find Kernals in Kaggle and below blogs and books to be helpful tutorial for  Pandas  a. https://www.dataquest.io/blog/pandas-tutorial...
