If you had told me a few years ago that I’d go from pouring concrete to cleaning datasets, I probably would’ve laughed. I started out as a Civil Engineering student, focused on building roads, designing structures, and dreaming of real-world infrastructure projects. It was a solid, practical field — one that taught me discipline, logic, and how to break down big problems into manageable parts.
But somewhere along the way, I discovered something unexpected — the power of data. Today, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Applied Data Science in the UK, and I’ve found a new kind of passion: transforming raw data into insights that can drive decisions, tell stories, and make a difference. This post is about that journey the shift, the struggles, the small wins and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
