I am Oussama Hosni – Data Science Engineering Student – ESPRIT

From an early age, I have always been deeply interested in computing. It was my dad, introducing me to the computer systems when he brought home our first computer when I was six. I can always remember the feeling of wanting to know just how computers worked, why they worked and what else they could do. It was then when I discovered a part of me, to say the least, was challenging, competitive and also eager to learn and discover.

Since then, I always found myself enjoying any computing activity, topic or even discussion. With each day passing by, I realised that I wanted to pursue a career in the IT field and set it as a goal for myself.

After I graduated from The Pioneer School of Ariana in 2017 with a Baccalaureate in Mathematics,I chose to carry on my path towards engineering through enrolling in a Maths-Physics preparatory cycle.

As much as those two years were hard, it helped me build myself, figure out what specialty I’m going to follow and which university would suit me best for a successful career. I’ve always enjoyed problem-solving and statistical analysis, which led me to pursue a career in data science.
And to further follow my passion Esprit granted me several opportunities and options to choose from and Data Science was my go to pick.

After two years of studying I had the opportunity to apply for the TAEF fellowship program, I got accepted as a Data Analyst Intern at Flat6labs.
The period of time I spent with their team was great, their friendly environment granted me a smooth learning experience, a fruitful one to say the least, it helped me and my enthusiasm about data science grew more important than before, especially considering how quickly technology is changing the profession.

I enjoyed being a part of this team and trying out innovative solutions which had me always eager to come in the next day and I can’t be any prouder of the chance I was given.
