Why should you attend?

This course offers a deep dive into the world of Big Data Analytics (BDA), tailored for executives seeking to harness data-driven decision-making capabilities. The curriculum begins by establishing foundational knowledge, including the definition of big data and its core characteristics known as the 4 V's: volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. Participants will explore structured versus unstructured data and confront the challenges associated with managing vast datasets. Subsequent modules focus on understanding different data types, measurements, and variables crucial for analyzing information effectively. Executives will learn to display and interpret tabular data in Excel, understand various data structures within the spectrum from unstructured to structured, and grasp the intricacies of data architecture including ELT/ETL processes and real-time versus batch processing. The course also delves into programming basics using Python for analytics, the Hadoop ecosystem components, database management systems including NoSQL and data warehouses, and effective communication through charts and graphs in Excel. Advanced topics cover hypothesis testing with R, sophisticated data visualization techniques with Tableau, correlation and regression analysis methods, culminating in strategic approaches to BDA for actionable business solutions.

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.

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.
