Jillan Gunawan
Data Science Intern
Client: Analytics Advisory Group (AAG)
Ever since I started working for Analytics Advisory Group in the summer of 2018, it has been an uphill journey of learning and self-discovery. As a student in the McCombs School of Business, there is a pressure to go into finance-related professions such as investment banking or consulting, and I never associated myself with pursuing a career in those fields. However, Ajay and the work I did at AAG solidified my desire to go into the tech industry.
In AAG, I worked in a team of 4 on a project that dealt with building an Amazon Alexa skill for a healthcare prospect. Coming in with a business background and having taken a few classes on programming (with SQL and Python), I was hesitant about being capable of building the Alexa skill from scratch. However, Ajay and my team provided the necessary tools and skills for me to quickly pick up on the technical aspects. Over the 12 weeks of the internship, I can proudly say that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with AAG because of our collective drive to push each other until we realize our individual capabilities.
Not only has Ajay been a teacher, he has been a mentor as well. Ajay knows so much about the tech industry and will make you come closer to realizing what you want to do for a career. I recommend those who are interested in a career in tech to reach out to Ajay because he will help you discover what you are passionate about!
