About

As George Box once said 'all models are wrong, but some are useful', I am among those who are trying to find these useful models. I am an data enthusiast and lifelong learner. I enjoy solving the problems, whether they are small or big. I am studying big data analytics and different types of methodologies and algorithms supporting it. I have an interest in data science, sociology, economics and I am exploring how these fields are interdependent. Currently I am working on social network analysis and influence modelling. Past year has been great learning experience both at academical and professional settings. I am working currently on developing data pipelines for the SMEs. And also doing freelancing for couple small projects. Before coming to NUS for my masters, I was working as a software developer in India. I worked as a full stacked Java developer using Java, Scala, python, spring, hibernate, MySQL, Cassandra, JavaScript, HTML, spark and many other technologies. I completed my computer engineering degree from Pune University. I was an active member of college Robotics and computer engineering. I enjoyed taking part in competitions and using my knowledge to develop a working thing. Please feel free to reach out on LinkedIn. Also you can connect with me on gmail: devendra.desale@gmail.com
