From marketing insights to machine learning models, I bridge the gap between business understanding and technical innovation.
I'm Mikaeel Faraz, a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Wollongong in Dubai, specializing in Big Data and AI. What sets me apart is my unique journey from digital marketing to data science, bringing a rare combination of technical expertise and business acumen to every project I undertake.
My career began in marketing, where I spent over two years building and scaling digital presences for businesses in Dubai. This experience gave me invaluable insights into consumer behavior, business metrics, and the importance of data-driven decision-making. It's this understanding that now enriches my approach to data science – I don't just analyze data; I understand the business context behind it.
Beyond academics and professional work, I'm also a three-time Guinness World Record holder. These achievements represent more than just personal milestones – they reflect my commitment to excellence, precision, and pushing boundaries in everything I do. Whether it's breaking a world record or building a machine learning model, I approach challenges with the same dedication to achieving extraordinary results.
