      Graduated from bachelor's
      02 July 2019

      it's a relatively small achievement but I had a lot of hardships during those years (battling with a terminal illness, family issues) so it was a big thing for me!

      Looking back now it was the hardest thing I've ever done, I'm so grateful it's over.

      Started taking a data science class
      01 November 2017

      I was quite fascinated by ML in the early days and I wanted to learn data science a lot so I took a class and I'm still in love ever since. Best thing that ever happened to me as I was so lost whether I could do it or not. I ended up being the best student in the class.

      I went to exchange to Australia
      30 July 2013

      I stayed at my host parents then I went to an exchange camp. I feel like this shaped me pretty much in the sense that I always wanted to work in a multicultural place abroad. Also this took place when I was at high school so it made me more confident.
