Hey everyone!

I’m excited to run for Head of Talent Development because I want to help you learn, gain experience, and find career opportunities in data science. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to build on existing skills, I want to make the journey clearer and more accessible.

What I’ll Do

I’ll create structured learning guides and hands-on workshops to help you develop real-world skills. To boost career opportunities, I’ll organize networking events, share exclusive job and internship postings, and provide CV reviews and interview prep. I’ll also set up mentorship programs, group projects, and hackathons so you can apply what you learn and build a standout portfolio.

Why Me?

I’ve always enjoyed helping others grow—whether through mentorship, hackathons, or working on startup ideas. I stay up to date with trends in data science, finance, and VC, so I can bring valuable opportunities to the society. My experience in strategy, analytics, and startups has shown me the importance of real-world skills, and I want to help you gain them.

Best,

Ishaan Makkar
