About Me

Hello there! Nisa here. This is where I share my thoughts, insights and some projects that I have worked on. 

I came from biomedical background, but found solace in data. I love how chaotic data can be, yet with the right approach, the same chaotic data could provide amazing insight, especially to the business. 

My journey in data began when I started to understand that you need to (at least) be backed by data in every business decision you made.

When I first started my data journey, I went straight into Python programming and machine learning. It's not wrong, but definitely a dumb way to die (metaphor of getting lost in the process, high risk for demotivation and giving up). Then, to make it more complicated, I started joining paper reading club with ASEAN Women in AI community. 

As things got harder, I realized maybe I need to go back to basic and do all the needed groundwork. I signed up for another data analytic course and that's when my journey with AirAsia began. 

I was onboard on the certification program by AirAsia Academy in collaboration with Google Cloud; fully sponsored by Yayasan Peneraju. 

Today, I can work proficiently (internally, I still doubt myself) using advanced Excel and Google Spreadsheet, SQL, Python and R for data analytics as well as other business intelligence tools such as Tableau. RapidMiner is awesome too (Cant deny they scares me at times).

To all fellow data enthusiast, it doesn't matter if you're just starting. It is okay to not be enough. You don't have to get it all right the first time. Who does that anyway?
