Background

About Kinsuk Mani Sinha

If you have a problem, I will find the solution because that is who I am, a problem solver. Exploring the field of data science, calls to my passion of problem solving: 1) Data always tells a story and I love to bring this story to light; 2) I can improve code by experimenting without worrying about breaking everything ( always in the feature branch, obviously). Improving by experimenting is something invaluable to me, this is a skill I started developing during my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering and have continued to foster since then. In 2021 after 7+ years of doing field work across 7 countries, employing supervised learning (linear and logistic regression), presenting frameworks, insights and conceptual models to different stakeholders, I still felt that I was missing many parts of the puzzle. And then one day I was in a village close to Nairobi doing field work, I thought, do agriculture companies talk to their customers via twitter? To start, I needed to download data from twitter, for which I required programming knowledge. So, I went back to the basics of coding I had studied during the first year of engineering and that was the missing part of my puzzle. Since that moment, I have been following courses on python programming, machine learning, principles of AI and semantic web. I’m an avid reader and a quick learner. If you are interested in the 7 countries in which I did my field work then they are Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Kenya, India, The Netherlands, USA. And, if you have any recommendations about a book, blog or documentary on Politics/mediaeval history/ethnography then please feel free to drop me a message!
