Hi, I am Kush Kulshrestha, the guy behind the blog.

Currently working as a Data Analyst, I am a self taught Data enthusiast with a passion to turn data into better and smarter products, actionable insights and meaningful stories. I analyze data to gain insights into business performance, build visualizations to support decision making, and create ETL processes to automate key business reporting processes.

​

I have published 3 research papers in International conferences and Journals.

I started my journey in Analytics with one of my project work sponsored by DRDO as an Electrical Engineering student in Panjab University. In the project, I was expected to analyze and visualize the output of a pressure sensor that we indigenously developed in the DRDO lab using Cabon nanotubes. After the project, I started exploring other ways to analyze the data.

Tools I use:

- I use Python and R to implement various Machine learning algorithms and automate reports to capture trends and patterns which are consumed by   vertical heads.

- Visualization: Tableau is my preferred tool for data visualization. Sometimes, I also work with Neo4j. I introduced Tableau dashboards in the           startup I am currently working in which eventually led to exponential increase in efficiency of Account Management team.

- Advanced proficiency in working with MS Excel and SQL.
