      Archievements:Intelligence:During the training I got to build real projects using python and pySpark on Databricks which included building a sewage pumping system numerical simulation using ODE Solvers and getting data from that simulation with the goal of building a model that will be able to detect anomalies in the system. Data Analysis:I did Data Quality and Validation and Exploratory Data Analysis on datasets that were derived from IoT systems that collect data on the flow of waste water into a sewage treatment Centre and unauthorized discharge of waste water into the environment. The point of this is to be able to build a model that can suggest actionable measures that can be taken for specific Sewage Treatment Centres to avoid overflow and as a result the unauthorized discharge of waste water into the environment.* Assist data scientists in collecting, analyzing, and interpret data sets to drive optimization and improvement of product development.* Provide help in developing custom data models and algorithms to apply to data sets. * Use analytics tools and scientific rigor to produce actionable insights.* Work with Data Scientists and Engineers to deploy solutions to a production environment.* Communicate key results to senior management in verbal, visual, and written media.* Coordinate with different functional teams to implement models and monitor outcomes.
