Ajay Sharma is a CEO and Founding Partner at Data Shop. He possess expertise in python, machine learning, trading, portfolio management, sql and 26 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Ajay supported us as an interim head of data science, providing guidance on the a range of topics including: hiring / talent, machine learning architecture and overall process changes to enable greater team productivity. He brought different ideas to the table and helped us make progress toward using data strategically and overhauling our approach. I valued the time we spent together and his contributions and look forward to hearing more about his future pursuits in building his business.", "Ajay took a very vague ambiguous business problem and applied a solid data science solution to it with a thorough and thoughtful execution roadmap. Which was surprising because so little information was given upfront. He highlighted pitfalls, communicated technical methods in lay terms, gave concrete examples, went from big picture to granular levels, ... ultimately educated me very well on the problem/solution. Would highly recommend Ajay and his services.", and "Ajay designed a hiring plan and architected several core data products fundamental to our business while educating us on data science processes/workflows. He's adept at analyzing problems from different perspectives, whether it be business, management, engineering, and, of course, data science -- a rare multifaceted gem among folks in the Data space. He adds a ton of value to lean, early-stage start-ups with little infrastructure and no prior knowledge of data science. He's also excellent at organizing, documenting, and presenting his work so all stakeholders (even nontechnical ones) are well aligned. All-in-all, he strikes the perfect balance of leadership and presentation skills and hands-on capabilities. I now have a much better idea of how a Data team fits into the broader organization and would, without a doubt, work with Ajay again on future projects."
