I recently graduated from school and am working as a Retail Scientist. I attended this bootcamp to help me transition from the research environment to corporate where I’m working with very large data sets. I came into the camp with an understanding of ML algorithms but no practical experience. This course helped me gain confidence implementing ML models. I now feel as though I understand how select features and tune model parameters. The instructors were amazing and provided amazing resources.

The main benefit of attending this camp was getting a clearer idea about data science and the role of data scientist in general. It was an eye opener and helpful in so many ways. It emphasized the value of the practical experience in any domain, and how to effectively utilize data science techniques to achieve the desired business goals. The curriculum was well designed and the instructors, Raja and Rebecca, did their best to explain key concepts and keep up the class at the same level as much as possible. The Kaggle competition was a smart way to keep the class engaged and make sure that we apply the concepts learnt and get the most out of this experience. The discussions were always rich and I really benefited from the smart professionals in the class! Thank you for amazing experience..

The curriculum has been designed in a way that everyone stands to benefit from joining this course whether you are a developer, manager or an existing data scientist. Raja’s explanations are very detailed and helps you understand the complexities around various algorithms very well which is something you may not be able to understand outside. Kaggle competition makes sure that you stay engaged for a good part of 5 days and improve your skills side by side.

I started the course as the person with the least data science & programming knowledge, by far. Despite my worries, I found that I was able to stay engaged all week. By learning from the instructors and interacting with the other students, I was able to really comprehend the methodologies in a way that would never have been possible while learning independently at home. I am so excited to go home and continue my studies and my relationships with my fellow alumnae. My gratitude to Raja and Rebecca stretches to infinity.

What impressed me most is the instructor Raja. He is brilliant! He makes a data science course more interactive than I can image. We were completely comfortable to ask any questions at any point of time. No matter how “dump” or ambiguous the questions were, Raja could tackle it well, considering both technical and business perspectives. I love the way he articulated technical concepts – simple & intuitive languages makes it effective. This inspired me. As a person, Raja is full of passion, patience and sincerity.

In addition, I enjoyed the “open discussion” atmosphere in the class. In the 5 days spent together, I got to know smart & decent classmates. All are nice memories!

This boot camp was one of the best training opportunities I have ever had. what would have taken me months to get across in online tutorials or other modes was demonstrated in one week. I have confidence in adopting ML methods in my work and renewed understanding of data analysis concepts. In fact I wish I had had the chance to attend before beginning graduate school and would recommend anyone about to undertake and advanced degree or PhD that relies on data analysis to consider attending. You wont regret it.
Raja and Rebecca have deep knowledge in data science, machine learning and statistics and more importantly they impart that knowledge so effectively and easily to students. They go above and beyond to ensure foundational concepts are well understood before trying to implement them, which means as a student you not only know how to implement the tools, but why you are using them. I can’t recommend the boot camp highly enough. make no mistake, it is intense, the hours long and some of the concepts challenging , but the rewards for your efforts more than outweigh the work you will put in.

The 5-day bootcamp held in Singapore was my first foray into data science or anything programming-related in fact. There was a diverse group of attendees from different industries, professions and countries. Although they commit to cover a lot for a 5-day bootcamp, the team at Data Science Dojo have delivered on their commitments. Raja was skilled in drilling down to the concepts behind the hottest topic today, engaging constantly to check for understanding. The exercises were well-designed to enforce learning and the competition element certainly pushed everyone to improve their skills day-to-day. There were no attempts to fluff things up. On the contrary, Raja together with Rebecca have demystified data science for me and made it much more accessible.
