I'm a data science enthusiast, who doesn't acquire any data science certificates! My backgrounds are BSc international business management and Masters of Finance, however, everything changed when I started out as an data analyst at a local bank where I got chances to expose to banking data, BI reports and data mining. I have 5 years plus working as data analyst (data analysis and BI reporting), data miner (data & business analytic), data engineer (database & ETL design) and so on... Thanks to the nature of the jobs that I've been through which require me to acquire/collect data from different source systems to build up our own database and design reports/dashboard in Excel or BI tools and further implement prediction/analytic for business sides, I've learned and applied a wide range of skill set such as SQL data querying and databases (Oracle, MySQL, MSSQL); ETL tools (MS SSIS; IBM DataStage); database design (IBM Infosphere Data Achitect; Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeller); data visualization/dashboard (Excel dashboard, PowerBI, IBM Cognos,...); data mining & statistical analysis (R, Python, statistical methods such as regressions & classifications, clustering, association rules, ...). I've participated in data warehouse projects at every bank I joined, this gives me a very clear picture of Vietnamese banking data structure, BI & analytic. Due to nature of work, the data I've touched are mainly structured data with total records of less than few hundreds of million rows. This is actually a motivation for me to learn big data skills and tools as well as natural language processing. I'll have more updates on this in next coming years. I'm interested in doing some freelance work on my free time which related to banking data, BI, data warehouse and data analytic (especially in banking field).
