What if cracking data analytics early could save years of struggle? 🤔

Back in college, I had no fancy mentors or a secret formula.

Just a laptop, curiosity, and a lot of trial and error.

I wasn’t the smartest in the room, but I knew one thing, waiting for graduation to figure things out was not an option.

So, I started with small learning paths and made plenty of mistakes along the way.

Some worked like a charm
Others? Total disasters.

But here’s the crazy part, I landed opportunities way before graduating. 💡

Not because I was a coding genius, but because I learned C language and was learning database management in my engineering syllabus.

From mastering the right tools to networking smartly, every step shaped my journey.

If I had to do it all over again, I would do some minor changes only like adding GenAI skills like prompting and RAG development.
(maybe fewer all-nighters 😅).
