So far, we’ve talked about what machine learning models do at a high level—they take in historical data, learn patterns, and help us make predictions. But how exactly does a machine learning model get trained, tested, and prepared for the real world? Let’s walk through that journey step by step….
Let’s start with a simple question: How do we, as humans, make decisions? Think about it. Whether you’re deciding what to eat, which route to take to work, or when to water your plants—you’re using past experiences to make informed choices. Some of those experiences are your own, some come…
This is a question I’ve been asked a lot lately—and it’s a good one. Why do I continue to work in AI and data science, especially when I could easily pivot into more conventional technology domains like ERP systems? The answer lies somewhere between passion, purpose, and impact. When I…
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across various domains and seen the field of data science evolve dramatically—from traditional analytics to today’s GenAI capabilities. There’s no doubt we’ve come a long way, and yet, I still find myself answering the same questions over and over again—on YouTube, LinkedIn, and even…
In today’s landscape, data isn’t just a byproduct of business—it is the business. Whether you’re in retail, finance, logistics, or healthcare, your ability to turn raw data into actionable insights through scalable tools and systems can define your competitive edge. This is where data products come in. But building and…
As of mid-2025, we’ve entered an era dominated by Agentic AI systems — autonomous agents powered by large language models (LLMs) that don’t just respond but can reason, act, and coordinate across tasks. Every week, we see a new “AI agent” hit the market — from task bots to co-pilots…
Over the past decade, I’ve built countless models, launched data products, and worked across geographies in the field of data science and AI. One thing that stands out to me is the wide skill gap among data science professionals. While many are good at the core task—model development—most fall short…
Let’s face it — most machine learning models never make it to production. Despite the effort, time, and resources poured into data science projects, a staggering percentage fail to deliver actual business value. Why? One of the biggest culprits is that we often jump straight into the data and start…
Over the past decade, data science has emerged as one of the most sought-after fields in technology. We’ve seen incredible advances in how businesses use data to inform decisions, predict outcomes, and automate systems. But here’s the catch: most data scientists stop halfway.They build models, generate insights, and maybe make…
Bringing your loved ones to visit you in the Netherlands is a beautiful experience—whether it’s your parents, siblings, or extended family. But the visa process can feel overwhelming, especially the first time. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how to invite your family on a short-term (tourist) visa—based on…
