Passion Statement

Murat is passionate about data and data analytics. To innovate something or tackle a challenge you need to understand its nature. Today, for almost all of the problems including the business cases, ‘gut feelings’ are far from being enough to grasp the situation and to make smart decisions. When it comes to innovating in the digital industries, making data-driven decisions is a must. Having a data-focused career, Murat likes to play with the tools all the way from data munging to data visualization and to advanced machine learning algorithms. He likes to do that not only professionally for Supply Chain Wizards’ high-5V data, i.e. high-volume, -velocity, -variety, -variable, -value data, but also personally likes to apply it for sports statistics. Even in this short personal statement, he mentioned ‘data’ 13 times, he loves it that much!
