I am a tech enthusiast passionate about artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics. With more than a decade’s experience in the tech industry, I have worked with several companies throughout my professional journey. Currently, I’m serving as Lam Research’s senior engineering technician LVL 3/R&D/safety ambassador chairman. I wanted to educate myself and contribute to my company’s newer demands, so I decided to upskill by enrolling in Simplilearn’s Artificial Intelligence Engineer Master’s Program

Thanks to Simplilearn’s flexible learning model, I completed the course successfully. The Artificial Intelligence Engineer Master’s Program made me more confident, and I have been able to apply all of the learnings to my work. The knowledge I gained from this course prompted me to volunteer for new projects at my company. I enjoyed learning with Simplilearn, and I have also recommended Simplilearn to my friends. My performance has improved, and I received recognition for new AI projects at my company. I also gained a 39 percent salary increase. In addition, I have volunteered at an education camp to help kids build robots. It gives me immense satisfaction to be able to improve my contributions to my job and my community. 

I don’t believe in compromising my aspirations and that one must keep working hard toward achieving their goals. 

Managing Time for Study

I knew it would be a challenge to manage work and learning. The flexible learning method helped me cope with my job simultaneously while studying. I took night shifts, worked out early in the morning, and studied. It was: go to work, go to the gym, and then study. I keep telling my friends and colleagues to take courses of their interest from Simplilearn. Simplilearn has been a game-changer; it has added a lot of perspective to my understanding of AI.

I live in Bangalore, Karnataka. My background is in mechanical engineering. I received my M.Tech from IIT Bombay, and worked with companies like Whirlpool and Bluestar in mid-level managerial roles. I have always been drawn to R&D and analytics, and since 2015, I have been at Ingersoll Rand, handling work related to IoT Sensor Data Analytics, dashboard creation, and identifying false machines.

I was applying machine learning tools for predictive and prescriptive R, but felt my skill set was limited and wanted more training. I was interested in learning Python and more advanced techniques like AI/ML. 

I started to research courses and eventually decided to take Simplilearn’s course on AI and ML. I felt Simplilearn’s course curriculum was more comprehensive than others. I also liked the course’s affiliation with Purdue University, and the certification I received upon course completion was an added advantage. 

The learning experience was very enriching. The instructors were very experienced in AI/ML. They helped me understand the material and clear up any questions I had. I was also able to enroll in weekend classes, so didn’t face any schedule issues. That made the entire learning experience easier.

AI and ML training helps a middle-aged mom advance in her career with marketable skills and confidence.  

I loved my job at Dell Technologies, but I suddenly found myself out of work due to my limited education and training. I turned that around by upskilling myself with the Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning program, and today I am a machine learning data manager at Abbin. 

I should mention that I’m a 41-year-old mother and grandmother. When I was 18, I joined the U.S. Army and worked in its human resources division. After my two-year service, I dealt with some personal setbacks and struggled to find a decent job. A hiring agency connected me with Dell Technologies, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately, due to my limited education qualifications, I was eventually let go. That was a sign to me that I needed to upskill and I enrolled for the Machine Learning program offered by Simplilearn. The course gave me a toolbox of skills and boosted my portfolio. It definitely prepared me for the work I’m doing now and for roles I hope to have in the future. My goal is to be a machine learning and Python expert, to work as a freelancer, and teach these skills to others. 

Moving Forward and Not Looking Back

Three years ago, I vowed to keep moving forward and never look back, no matter what. Enduring tough times and a difficult marriage made me realize the importance of self-dependence.

I earned a meager income through my photography business, but I was able to build a house for our family. One day, a hiring agency called looking for candidates to work at Dell Technologies. I cracked that job and simply loved it. Everyone there made me push my limits and I thrived on finding solutions to workplace problems. 

However, because I wasn’t certified, I was let go from my job. I was devastated. The job made me feel confident, smart, and self-dependent. From then on, it was my motto to get back to Dell Technologies. 

First, I needed upskilling. I enrolled in Simplilearn’s course and that has been a great decision for me.

Today, I credit Simplilearn with my love of self-learning. Whenever I land up a new job, I’m confident that I’ll give my best. My intellectual abilities are expanding exponentially and I am very happy about that. By learning with Simplilearn, my portfolio of work is improving tremendously and my toolbox is overflowing with solutions.

I always believe in learning, and it has shaped who I am today. In my professional journey, my mantra has always been the same –  “Learning is growing. If you stop learning, you’ll stop growing. Therefore, it has to be an evolving process.” This has helped me reach great heights both personally and professionally.

My Journey

My professional career hasn’t always been linear. I studied Electronics and Telecommunication and graduated from Sardar Patel University in 2007 before deciding to grow in marketing. I then pursued PGDM in Marketing from the SIES College of Management Studies in 2011. For the last 12 years, I have been working in my dream company, Google Cloud. I am currently a Business Manager and am responsible for ensuring people use the right tools and collaboration strategies, allowing them to expand and scale better with Google Technologies.

My company provides a lot of flexibility in work, so I rarely go to the office. I h ave been assigned to manage various regions, so my work involves a lot of traveling and interactions with various companies’ CEOs, CPOS, Co-Founders, and even senior-level stakeholders, including the Board of Directors. 

The Challenge

While my job is fantastic, I know I must follow my learning mantra. At my Google Cloud division, I realized that majority of my interactions with the customers revolved around Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. This was becoming a promising sector for me in terms of sales. So, to serve my customers better and improve my performance in my current role, I decided that taking up an in-depth course in AI and ML would be the perfect way to upskill myself.

Professionally, I want to be known as an individual who understands new-age technologies (like metaverse), both their application and implication to a specific industry. I would like to see myself grow as a person who can contribute to helping a social issue or an industry-specific issue concerning new technologies and innovations. This is why upskilling seemed like the perfect choice for me!

My name is Tarekh Bekgasam, and I’m originally from Libya, now living with my family in Ohio, USA. I currently work as Associate Consultant at KiE Square Analytics. Prior to this role, I’d worked at Honda since 2019, and have also enjoyed a rich experience in the field of teaching. I hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Washington State University.

I always had a passion for AI and machine learning (AI/ML) and knew its importance in the materials research field in which I worked. I realized that to become a subject matter expert in the same, I needed to upskill from a reputable course provider. That’s when I decided to enroll in Simplilearn’s Post Graduate Program (PGP) in AI And Machine Learning.

Successfully completing this program at Simplilearn introduced me to the many important advancements in the field of AI/ML. I was able to apply my knowledge and skills immediately on the job and was soon regarded as an expert in this field at the company I worked for. 

Simplilearn was the best upskilling partner for me. As a result of PGP in AI/ML, I’m now confident about building my career. I’m using the tools I learned in the course while performing my duties in my new role, and I feel that the skills acquired from this certification will help me become even better.

I wanted to become an entrepreneur but I wanted to do it the right way, my way. Now, with Infinty Ai, I feel that I’ve finally achieved my life-long dream of entrepreneurship. Simplilearn has definitely been a huge help to get me started on this exciting journey.

The Journey

I’ve spent over 16+yrs in the automotive space, working at various levels in different companies.  I worked with the likes of Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, etc. My last transition was from being a Deputy Manager Research & Development at Mahindra to Tata Motors where as a Senior Manager where I worked for over six and a half years.

The potential for AI in business strategy and support is definitely a growing sector and I knew that I wanted to do something of my own in this space. However, I felt like I needed to learn a bit more to understand my company’s niche.

The Challenge

With this much potential in AI, I started looking for ideas that would offer a whole playground where I could create a unique offering for my customers. I already loved learning about new technologies in my spare time and I decided that I needed to now learn more from experts, this is what drove me to taking a course to help upskill myself so that I would understand my customers better.

My career started after completing my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Mumbai University in 2004. Two years later, I completed my post-graduate studies at Birla Institute of Arts, Science, and Commerce, Thane, then joined Caliber Point as a specialist. After working there for five years, I held various business analyst positions at companies like Aon, Wipro, and HDFC Bank.

Having worked in the same field for a few years, I felt the need to upskill myself with the latest, in-demand technical skills. I enrolled in Simplilearn’s Artificial Engineer Master’s Program and immediately reaped the benefits. Being from a non-IT background, I always struggled to learn to code and had to invest lots of time. Simplilearn’s course framework, resources, and support helped me succeed in spite of my previous difficulties. In fact, I completed the PGP and got a job in Tech Mahindra as Tech Lead in business intelligence (BI) with a salary hike of 83 percent.
