Work

Worked with OpenADR implementation and the problems associated with it. Worked with QA engineers to recreate and solve some of these problems. A lot of collaboration this week. I enjoyed it. Also, we commissioned a new client, so fulfilling all data requests and building dashboards on Tableau to view day-to-day operations. These dashboards also help us troubleshoot in near real time. Attending meetings with the client to answer their questions and note their concerns. A fun week ## work. Now that most of our employees are coming to office, a lot of interesting conversations keep me entertained throughout the ## work day. Machine Learning Bootcamp Began this bootcamp with a 6 hour live online session on Saturday. Many interesting people are part of this bootcamp. Learning/coding together is a lot more engaging and rewarding. I missed that. We have started out the course with univariate and multivariate regressions. Mostly working on COVID- 19 data around the world. The new thing I learned this week was Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) that is used to find co-linearity between features. Cool stuff.

Also got an overview of some of the

projects that CEEW is working on. Will talk about them in the following

weeks.

Books

I haven’t been able to read anything this week. One of the sacrifices that I am making for career growth. There’s just isn’t enough time or energy. Once I settle into these jobs, I might be able to read.

Fitness

Gym: Haven’t been to the gym in last 2 weeks. I feel horrible. Biking: 23 miles on the bike this week. Thanks to commuting to ## work.
