Instructor Reviews
He was indeed very skilled, knowledgeable and passionate in the data science realm. I was impressed with his business know-how (how the world economy works and how all things can be explain with data, with/without bias) and technical skills in converting data into insights. I will not hesitate to recommend Tarun for any data science related training as I would like to attend more classes myself to learn from the best of the best.
I attended one of Tarun's Data Science course in Jakarta (CDSS). He was a professional trainer & very knowledgeable in Data Science. In his course, Tarun gave many practical examples & valuable information regarding how to conduct Data Science & it's related components (e.g. Software & Deployment Architecture). In addition to those lessons, he also gave very useful insights on building a career as a Data Scientist.
Attended "Blockchain Training: An Overview for Business Professionals" conducted by Dr. Tarun. The reference materials are very comprehensive and an excellent means of conveying information. I was very impressed with how this technology works and adapted into business
He shared his professional insights on data science with a sense of humor that cleared up so many of my questions about the content and real-world applications. Information, tools, and resources given are very useful
His knowledge of multiple subjects exceeds far greater than that of any IT or non-IT person I have met or interacted with in a long time. The breadth and depth of the subject matter he has acquired is exemplary.
Training with Tarun has been awesome. He’s super knowledgable, funny, empathetic and a great educator in general. As someone who didn’t come from a computer science background, his teachings didn’t make me feel stupid or impossible to eventually arrive at being a competent developer. I could understand him as he communicates well & has helped me see the big picture of the computer science field beyond the scope of syntaxes. If you similarly did not come from a CS background and hope to transition into the world of programming but struggle to learn on your own, understand all the foreign & abstract concepts and connect the dots, I think the right person to guide you on your journey would make a big difference. Having someone who’s deep in the field with many years of experience narrow and communicate the relevant areas to focus would also close a big gap from having to struggle and figure out a lot of things on your own. Being able to maintain your interest during your learning journey is important too, thus finding that someone is important. All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend Tarun and the backend course I took.
Tarun is a results-driven & inspirational technology leader with a clear vision, direction, and broad-based technology expertise. He is passionate, intuitive, engaged, pragmatic, systematic, agile. His experiences span from small start-ups to complex, global companies, from being technical lead to technical strategist to being the leader of larger group of architecture and engineering teams. Much of his experiences are in the area of Java, Scala, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Cloud Computing, Data Science and what not. I am truly amazed to experience his breadth & depth of technological expertise and pleasure to be part of his team.
Tarun is very passionate on the domains and gave numerous insights to support critical business decisions and develop data products to transform daily encounters and processes. He was a professional trainer & very knowledgeable in Data Science. His material is presented through a sequence of brief lectures, interactive demonstrations, great hands-on exercises, and discussions.
