About

Hey! I am Sundas and I help you succeed in the data science and tech fields. I am a self-taught data scientist from non-tech background, currently at a FAANG company. I have been in the industry for over 10 years across two big tech companies as a high-performer (top 1%). Data Science is the hottest job family but there are many unknowns. Over the years, I have built knowledge on how to lead a successful career and love sharing it on this channel. I share tips for people interested in entering data science with the goal to democratize knowledge and make complicated topics digestible for everyone. All opinions on this channel are my own and do not reflect the opinions of the company I work for or have ever worked for in the past.
