Story of Something Good (I hope)
Ahmet Hamza Emra
Abstract
In 1995 one hot summer day, I was born in Eskisehir/Turkey. Since then, I have been doing stupid things and learning new things. These days, I am working as Data scientist. Its a quite nice topic to work if you ask me. I like math, puzzles, boardgames and poems.
1 About Me
I am currently working for Pfizer as Data Scientist. I work on forcasting models to improve and optimize production.
My main interest is reinforcement learning. I like training models to solve real life problems (mode fun when they are wierd problems).
Also, I have my own company called NoArgue where we make movie, music and restaurant recommendations for groups. Check out NoArgue
