For students, getting advice from those who have already reached their goals is a very enriching experience. In order to provide that opportunity to interact with an industry professional, Dr. Thejus Kartha From the INSOFE school of data science organized a Workshop with Mr. Abhishek Agarwal who currently works for ORACLE.

The workshop, as evidenced by the name “The Cool Stuff & The Cook-up”, was about making stuff, particularly in the field of data science. The workshop aimed to inform the students about the process of building projects and about what to expect in regard to employment in the future.

The session started off with an introduction of the speaker and a brief of what the takeaways of the session would be. Mr. Abhishek then proceeded to tell about his own past and about his introduction to software development. He then explained what the general pattern with software development looks like. First comes curiosity regarding the working of certain software, which then leads to inquisitiveness about how to replicate it and improve on certain aspects, thus building some new stuff.

The session then diverted to the types of employment one can find in the world of software development and the differences between them. Mr. Abhishek also elaborated on the usage and implementation of AI-ML in the future of this industry.

The Session ended with a Q&A session where the students attending brought up some thought-evoking questions regarding the material discussed in the session.

“The session was very enlightening in terms of what to expect when we start to aim for employment."
