Congratulation to Alex Antonison for Earning his Masters in Computer Science

Jennifer Keller Leave a comment

Alex Antonison, Stratasan’s Data Analytics Manager, recently completed his Masters in Computer Science, emphasis in Data Science.

Alex shared the following about the experience: “I learned a lot about machine learning, statistics, and other related topics like data visualization and cloud computing, but one of the more important lessons I learned is to not doubt myself. There were numerous moments where I was stuck on an assignment or new concept, and at times it felt impossible. But after taking a deep breath and going on a walk, I would get back to it. Sometimes I would have to work late into the night, but I would eventually figure it out.” 

Great work, Alex!
