RAKEEN AHMED

Hi, I'm Rakeen - an aspiring data scientist always striving for better data-driven solutions.

Ever since I can remember, I've been interested in data and the crucial role it plays in making informed decisions. Hours upon hours were spent mining through Statista, and the DataIsBeautiful subreddit was a favorite pastime of mine.

After graduating from McMaster University in 2018, I started working in Digital Marketing but continued to explore my fascination with data analytics. I taught myself SQL and Tableau visualizations and worked on small projects to hone my skills.

I knew that eventually, I wanted to take the leap and pursue my passion for data analytics further. In 2022, I enrolled in the Centennial College Business Analytics Program to help me become a successful Data Analyst. Since then, I have learned a multitude of skills including SQL, Machine Learning, Python, and Visualizations.

I've competed in and won data science hackathons such as the SAS Safe Roads Competition. I'm also keenly interested in urban and community planning, road and infrastructure development, and crime analytics.

In the future, my goal is to apply my data analysis skills to these fields to make a positive impact. If you are looking for someone for such a role, please contact me. You can check out my portfolio projects to see some examples of my work!
