Thanks for stopping by. My name is Dev Bhosale. Many years ago, when I was in college, one of my assignments was writing a “C-program”. I created a graphical representation of Discrete Fourier Transform. The sinusoidal waveforms took different shapes based on some parameters in the algorithm. It was magical. Since then, I fell in love programming, numbers, and data visualization. I have been working in Business Intelligence and Data Science for 15+ years. First thing that comes to the mind when somebody says that they are a data professional is spreadsheets. Spreadsheets will remain as popular as a loaf of sliced bread in 2030s. The data profession offers plenty of roles depending on whether you like to be around other people 🙂
My first full time job as a data professional was in year 2008, before the financial crisis. After learning the basics of data analytics, I started applying those skills in personal finance. I came across “Mr. Money Mustache”. He showed how little one needs to spend to live a decent life. It was a revelation. Saving and investing those savings is one of simplest path to financial freedom.
