Zaka

It's Hisham I'm a data scientist, this certificate help me in my career and I got a better opportunity. The program was 16 insightful weeks we passed through all ML life cycles from collecting data to production. After every week a challenge covers all information and pushes you to go back if you miss something.
It was a great experience with a supportive team, adding to the technical information, I learned ways of thinking, how to present myself, and upgrade my resume.
I did my own project in the end and I continue updating it.
A big thanks to all the team :).

"AI is the future", well I always thought so and always wanted to know more and more, and here is how I began my journey with Zaka. I'm a computer science student and at my university, I took an AI course where we took some algorithms but I was curious and took the AI BootCamp at Zaka, It was also an amazing experience but I was more curious. Also, another course that was available at the university is machine learning which was interesting, I liked it a lot and I was really interested in reinforcement learning since I was responsible to study and make a small project about it. I also got a lot curious and here I found the tech for inclusivity program which includes the machine learning certification, and that's how I dived deeper into everything related to machine learning in all details. 
What I liked the most is computer vision, well simply because we all like images and take pictures and those pictures are pixelized into the computer, so letting the computer understand features and extract them, generate captions, or even analyze facial expressions was really exciting to me! I liked this topic a lot to the point that now I want to be a professional in Computer Vision no matter what and I figured out how will this help me with my future goals: I want to work at NASA and analyze space pictures in order to make it easier for the scientists to understand space species and maybe discover new chemicals, this topic clarified and make my goal easier since now I can analyze images and I can extract features and I even can deploy my work!!! 
Another topic that I liked is reinforcement learning since it lets the AI understand like humans and learn from their mistakes, also I am interested in gaming and I like good boss fights😅 and I know that reinforcement learning is the best algorithm to apply when it comes to game bosses since they are robots with higher strength and capabilities. 
I was surprised when I studied Time Series Analysis, it was totally new to me and it got my attention, we were able to learn about how to predict an aspect or more based on previous data, so here we are not only analyzing data, but we are taking into consideration the sequence of actions that led to this specific prediction and that was all new to me! 
At the end of the program, I made a project called space geeks that matches captions with images, and all images are related to space, this project for me is a big first step toward my goal and I am going to always try and change, add or even do new algorithms to make this project better and the most advanced possible! 
As I said before, the program has helped me achieve a big step forward in my future goal, It also added a lot of value to me since I'm a fresh graduate so now I have 2 certificates at the same time rather than 1, I have now new approaches to solving problems and I can be faced to another kind of problems that I usually get faced to, I have a huge knowledge of new websites, new resources and I can understand how to get the info and search properly about the things I need in new projects, I also have enhanced my python programming skills which I got introduced to in uni for the image processing course, and lastly but not least I am now more independent than ever when it comes to many things: make new projects, design algorithms, deploy new models and also I'm more confident when it comes to write my CV, make interviews and work on my LinkedIn since we got many talks about that stuff. 
In the future, I'm planning to become a computer vision professional and with Zaka's help, I'm going to achieve this goal! 

Hello I am Zeina Fneish, Management Information Systems bachelor graduate, I come from a different background than AI/ML. I decided to begin my journey in Artificial Intelligence and to be honest I had tough searching for courses and learning by myself, until one day a friend recommended Zaka's course (MLC), and the story begins. It's really an amazing course that's full with all source of information, you don't just learn the algorithms and so on, NO! you get to work and hands-on exercise that allows to understand more how the code is done, and also weekly coding challenges that boosts your learning. 

The team at Zaka is supportive and helpful and the mentors are great, they help you, mentor you, and answer all sort of questions you have. 

Because the field of machine learning is one of the most important areas of the era, I was looking for the best source to cover the basics and practical application in this field, and after a lot of searching and take a lot of courses, I found MLC ZAKA program. and yes everything I want exist here. 
It was a very special and really fruitful trip that moved me from the basics of machine learning to the machine learning in the deployment.
The explanation is clear and direct to the point
The support of the lecturers is also very excellent
and there a challenges after each week, this really made me applied all knowledge and apply it and learn a lot of things.
at the final there a capstone project which this gave me a very good experience with working on.
My Journey it just begun
