It is often said that the journey to success often begins with one step, and mine was the decision to attend a Simplilearn program that got me started on my entrepreneurial journey that changed my life for the better.

Background

Digital Marketing wasn’t my first or even my second choice as a career. Actually, I’ve done a little bit of a lot of different things over the years. The saying ‘Jack of all trades’ would definitely apply to me.

Over the years, I have done different things. I have been a technical writer, and I have run several businesses including my own company called Extreme Soundproofing. My most recent stint included spending over 10 years in business development specializing in contract negotiation and sales.

Learning Journey

Even throughout my chaotic journey, I was always interested in digital marketing. I started her first business in 2001 and created a website at a time when the term ‘digital marketing’ wasn’t so well known. I had used Google AdWords for my different businesses, but I wanted to update my skills, stay relevant and gain knowledge about the new tools and techniques that are being used in digital marketing today.

So, I started my search for a suitable course to learn Digital Marketing. During this time, I found Simplilearn. The course structure and depth of content resonated with me and I signed up for Simplilearn’s Digital Marketing Certified Associate course in a heartbeat.

I opted for guided training and was pleasantly surprised that I learned so much more than expected in those classes. The instructor was thorough and really explained digital marketing in depth. It was very exciting for me to attend the interactive classes, and I could take the classes from anywhere.

The structure of the course was also a perfect fit for my learning style and the classes were motivational. I would leave each class with the determination to actually do something new. Every class also came with a list of tools that are useful in digital marketing, and with every new tool, I would be so excited to actually start using them.

I would definitely recommend Simplilearn to everyone I meet, it is truly been one of the best learning journey for me. I love this organization, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in furthering their education. It is good for people who have a busy life. Whenever you have the time, you can attend these classes. The reference material that is provided is excellent, and people can print it out and refer to it later.

The courses at Simplilearn show how you can cross global barriers with a little effort, and how productive and useful that can be for aspiring entrepreneurs worldwide.

Right from the start, I was always looking toward the future. I started out as a software engineer, but was fascinated with the seemingly endless possibilities in data science and artificial intelligence (AI). I knew these interrelated fields would be the way of the future and I wanted to become a part of it. Undergraduate technology degrees provide a broad basis of knowledge, but it was up to me to hone my skills and specialize in a given niche.

For me, that niche turned out to be big data and AI. All I needed was the right combination of practical, hands-on skills to get started. This is the story of how I prepared for the challenges I created for myself, including the crucial role of finding the right educational platform.

The Challenge: Making a Lateral Move from Software to Data

My career never felt right to me, which made me realize early on that I wasn’t on my preferred trajectory, even though I enjoyed early success. I started my career as a software engineer trainee with Nucleus Software in Noida, India, working my way up to senior software engineer role after two quick promotions. 

During this time, I felt it was time for me to move away from Oracle and SQL and get on to the latest trends in the industry with my hopes set on machine learning and big data.

I realized that essentially all industries would be looking for ways to leverage the tremendous amount of raw data generated every second in order to gain an edge and create efficiencies. My specific interest was in how this data could be used for predictions, classifications, and language processing within the context of AI and machine learning.

Machine learning has changed the way we see data. Now, with the help of easier programming languages like Python, we can create magic with code.

My other passion, also enabled by big data, is robotics process automation (RPA). While the term “robot” may conjure images of industrial machines welding steel automobile chassis together, or perhaps your automated vacuum cleaner robot, RPA has more to do with the automation of administrative work. RPA may automate such processes as IT support, shipping logistics, data migration, or other jobs that reduce the time humans spend on repetitive tasks while reducing errors.

Every magician must learn the tools of their trade, however. I was confident I had the requisite foundation in technology but needed specific skills training to get started.

The Simplilearn Solution: Patience and Planning for the Future

I knew I wanted to learn the core skills that would enable a future career in big data and AI, but I wasn’t sure where to turn at first. I watched numerous free tutorials online but realized I wasn’t getting anything “concrete” that would help me make this transition. Then, one of my relatives suggested that I look into Simplilearn’s offerings, something they have benefited from.

In order to make the big shift I had planned, I decided to take my relative’s advice and enrolled in Simplilearn’s extensive Big Data Engineer Master’s Program. This program combines several key courses on data science that help prepare learners for a wide variety of roles involving data and AI, including instruction in Hadoop, Spark, MongoDB, Data Science with R, and Data Science with SAS. 

While I found the Hadoop ecosystem to be the most interesting part, I truly appreciated the comprehensive nature of the program. I learned the fundamentals of data science and how it could be applied in addition to hands-on training on how to use Python, R, and other tools and processes. 

All these courses actually helped me to see my way through to become a data scientist and was pleased not only with the subject matter but in how it was packaged and presented in a practical, career-ready manner. 

I didn’t go and look for a job the moment I completed the program, instead I took about four months to fully immerse myself in these technologies, while continuing working in my software engineer job. That meant less time for my other personal interests, including cricket and spending time outdoors, but I had come prepared with a singular goal in mind.

In the tech world, you can’t afford to be left behind. You have to consistently keep upgrading to ensure that you and your company comply with the latest technologies on the market. This is why I knew that I will definitely have to keep upskilling to ensure that I stay relevant in my field.

When my company, Visa’s software engineering team in Bangalore decided to adopt the DevOps framework, I realized it was time to start looking at polishing my skills. I came across Simplilearn’s DevOps Engineer Master’s Program and to be very honest, after completing this comprehensive course I was able to improve my own effectiveness, but also help upgrade my entire team.

Like any good investment, career training usually pays off. For my contribution to my company’s growth, I got a raise shortly after completing the DevOps coursework. Let’s take a look at my journey of how I got into DevOps.

The Challenge: Combining the Dev With the Ops

After earning my computer science and engineering (CSE) degree from Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) in Mumbai, I started receiving job offers from several prominent employers including my dream company, Visa. I have worked here for the past four years. But as I said, in the IT field, you either upskill or get left behind. So, I knew I would keep having to upskill and stay up to date with any new technologies that come my way.

In my day-to-day work, I had one foot in software development and the other in operations, in addition to security-related work. More specifically, I was the single point of contact for production requests or changes. So, while this is the type of position best suited for the DevOps approach, neither I nor any of my team members had formal training in this methodology. Since my team was moving in that direction, I decided it was time to add DevOps to my skill-set.

When I realized the benefits of DevOps for my organization and career,  I knew I needed to get the right education.

To adapt to dynamic career challenges, people are starting to equip themselves with new and upcoming skills. If you wish to stay relevant and up-to-date with the needs of the digital world, constantly learning new skills is the solution. This is my story of how I transitioned from an Industrial engineer to an Analytics Manager.

The Challenge

I worked as an Industrial Engineer for two years at First American India Pvt. Ltd. Since I was always fascinated with data, I changed my domain and got the role of Assistant Manager for Data Analysis and started working in MISD (Multiple Instruction, Single Data).

During my role, I worked primarily with Excel for all data-related work. I was able to work with graphs and pictorial representations, but there was not much else I could do on Excel. One time, the management asked me to show them the top performers or the bottom liners, and with Excel’s limitations, I couldn’t do it. With the amount of data coming in, I felt that there has to be a better way to express data.

When I saw my colleagues in different departments working with different tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Data Studio, and R Studio, I realized that they were getting work done more in-depth. Most importantly, this opened my eyes to a whole new field of data analytics.

Since no one knew how to use Tableau in my division, I decided to learn and introduce it to my team to learn better from data.

I started training myself through online videos and attending live classes. However, they were not as professional and interactive as I had hoped for. The demos were not well organized and the instructors were not trained enough. They lacked interactive and communication skills mostly due to the fact that they were part-timers who were professionals in their own organization. They only focused on basic courses, and not everyone was able to follow their pace. I knew I needed trainers and professionals who had an in-depth knowledge of Tableau.

The Simplilearn Solution

When I googled Tableau courses, Simplilearn was the first result that came up. With anticipation, I looked through a lot of other sites as well and compared all the curriculums. Simplilearn’s curriculum looked far more advanced and structured than all the rest.

I started my course with Simplilearn in October 2018 when I signed up for the course and received a call from one of Simpilearn’s sales executives. The sales executive was easily able to put all my doubts to rest about the course curriculum, the instructors, the amount of interaction I would get with instructors and so on. Even before the course started, I felt that they had good knowledge about how the course would be.

With my past experience, I was very skeptical about the way the instructor would train. However, the batch was a mix of beginners, moderates, and experienced people and the trainer was easily able to handle all the three types of learners. The course was well structured and the quality of training was very good. Some of the highlights from the course were maps, heatmaps, country and state, pictorial representation of maps, tooltip and parameter control.

The one thing that I liked the most about Simplilearn’s training process was the surveys taken after every two days. When the trainer was too fast or too slow for some learners, they were able to raise their concerns and the feedback would be incorporated by the trainer.

This made the training highly interactive as I was easily able to communicate with not just the trainer but with the other learners from all over the world as well.

I hit a roadblock with Simplilearn’s final project for certification. I got in touch with my trainer to get some hep and he was there for the entire duration of my project. I was able to finish the project exceptionally well and got my certification.

I received an Electrical and Electronics Engineering degree in 2004 and a master’s in Power Electronics in 2006 before starting my career as a software engineer at Wabco-TVS (now Wabco India.) I then joined Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions in 2013 as a project manager. My employer knew I had the skills and mindset for a more senior role, and promoted me to a PMO Lead position not long after I started. This was a period of significant professional growth for me.

My new job responsibilities included mentoring and coaching project managers, as well as developing an in-house reporting tool to display the status of each project. While working on this, I realized that there were delays in pulling out the results. I needed access to better tools in order to be more efficient and effective in my new role.

I knew I could do a much better job predicting results and analyzing where (and how) project bottlenecks were occurring only with the help of in-depth analysis. I concluded that formal training in data science would allow me to bridge the gap and help my team become more efficient and productive. 

I was looking for a flexible and cost-effective training program; after all, I still had full-time management duties during the day and would need to convince my managers that it was a smart investment. Fortunately, my employer understood the importance of investing in employee training both as a way of improving performance and retaining top performers.

I learned about Simplilearn through colleagues and friends and was impressed with their feedback. Since Simplilearn was already one of the online training providers associated with Bosch, my company was able to negotiate a good rate for me and four of my colleagues to enroll in their Data Science Course.

I took the training on weekends and in my free time during the weekdays. The flexibility of the course allowed me to maintain my busy work schedule while I learned analytics and data science hands-on. I also appreciated the blend of live, instructor-led classes and self-guided video lessons. When I had technical questions, Simplilearn’s support team helped me in a timely manner.

I have a Master’s degree from Rutgers University in machine learning and another from Northwestern University in cognitive science. I’ve worked for Schwab, Delta, and Blue Shield of California, introducing metrics, measurements and process changes for increased productivity. But my career needed a boost and I wanted a leadership role.

I was working in quality, but without a certification. Simplilearn helped move my career forward when I pursued Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training to prepare for the IASSC certification exam. When researching how to prepare for my certification exam, I chose Simplilearn in part because it is affiliated with the Project Management Institute (PMI) as a registered partner. This meant their training was in alignment with PMI concepts, so it would be aligned with my other certifications. 

I also liked the format offered by Simplilearn, which offers interactive webinar courses and maximum flexibility for balancing work and life. It was easy to choose the times and durations that would fit with my work and home commitments. In addition, the format was interactive which made it more effective. Being able to engage with instructors during the sessions made it feel like a classroom environment, but in my home office!

Once I started on the coursework, I discovered the high quality of the content, as well. The level of the instructors was top-notch and their passion for their field came through. In addition, the lessons learned were immediately applicable to my job. The course was filled with real world examples, and students were encouraged to share their experiences. The instructor worked us through potential solutions that we could take back and immediately put into practice.

It wasn’t just about listening to the material being presented. The value really came from the instructor’s wealth of experience and presenting real-life examples of the concepts they taught. It’s one thing to learn how to create metrics. It’s another to hear a story of a problem, the metrics and measurements created to solve the problem, and the results—which could be failure or success. 

I also appreciated being able to download links so I could go back and listen again to certain material, and use those downloaded links as reference.

After earning my certification, I became a Senior Project and Quality Program Manager at Blue Shield, providing oversight with a focus on streamlining efforts and increasing performance. I build and implement quality standards and metrics for the Project Management Life Cycle (PMLC), streamline processes for moving projects through the PMLC faster, and establish the “Customer’s Voice” to create a continuous improvement cycle with other project managers. I also combine quality metrics with User Acceptance Testing practices, serve as lean process expert to improve the product pipeline, and have built a high performance onshore/offshore team to procure and install new cloud technology.
