My Journey
Began learning

I was a power Excel User.

Worked for a major industrial products

manufacturer.

Climbed the ladder.

Position evolved. Needed analytics.

Datasets became too large for Excel. Computer

broke.
Why ?

Problem: Deep Learning

Python is light-years
ahead of R for Deep
Learning.

Deep Learning is very

powerful for Time
Series.
Solution:
Combine R and Python to build a Deep
Learning Solution

Combines the power of GluonTS

With the ease of use of Modeltime.

I became 1-Dimensional.

I thought a lot.

Then, I went to work.

A new python program
A lot of decisions
