Tommy Poek Email and Phone Number
I am expecting to continue my career since my master's graduation in Nov 2024. After 10 years of engineering experience in vehicle industry, I've chosen to study master of data science. My next career aspiration is AI/ML and data engineering... What makes my past experience transferable? [1] Having struggled with cumbersome process, I had to do massive coding to automate data pipeline. [2] Modular design mindset was my daily mind challenge when I designed feature software. [3] The way I communicated on engineering data is transferable to any other domains. [4] Cross-team collaboration e.g. with design studio helped me speak empathetically. In summary, all industries require candidates with intersecting skills. Take your time to read my resume for more details.
