Returning to Data Science: A Software Engineer's Journey into Deep Learning

Hello everyone, I’m Brahim Erahim, a software engineer based in Brussels, Belgium. I have a background in Business Mathematics and Computer Science, having earned my master’s degree 20 years ago. During my internship, I worked with neural networks, logistic regression, and Cronbach alpha. However, at that time, there weren’t many job opportunities related to data mining, so I pursued a career in software engineering.

With the recent surge in AI, I found myself drawn back to the field of machine learning, now known as deep learning. To get started, I completed a machine learning specialization and am currently working my way through deep learning courses. I have discovered that brushing up on my calculus and linear algebra knowledge has been incredibly helpful. The first course, Neural Network Specialization, was a great refresher and I’m excited to continue learning and growing in this field. I look forward to connecting with other deep learning enthusiasts and experts on this forum!
