Q&A with the Student:

What are your motivations for enrolling in this program at ESDST?

After working in IT for more than 20 years, I am seeking the opportunity to equip myself in emerging technologies. Data Science and AI are regarded as one of the hottest areas. While I had gone through a couple of different courses from other institutes over the past many years, I seemed interested to dive deeper into this specialization area and achieve a higher educational background in this field.

Can you describe your journey highlighting any challenges or obstacles faced, encouragements received, key professional achievements etc?

I was one of the top architects in possibly one of the largest IT / networking company – Cisco when I was in Hong Kong. However, when I migrated to Australia about a year ago, I could not find myself a decent job. Job market in Australia requires oneself to be imbued with rich local experience and therefore I had to start over again from a junior/mid-level engineer.

What are you most passionate about? What have you done in the past or are currently pursuing that gives you a sense of satisfaction of having achieved positive/tangible outcomes in issues that you support?

Doing hands-on and technical jobs are my strongest areas and I enjoy helping customers in resolving their challenges.

How do you plan to use the knowledge and skills that you are going to acquire through this course coupled with your professional experiences and achievements for the betterment of the society at large?

I don’t have a concrete plan to start with a career in data science yet but would investigate this opportunity once I feel better equipped.
