New Beginnings at Alaya

Today was my first real week at Alaya Digital Solutions, leading the analytics teams. It feels strange to step out of the academic bubble and into the world of industry consulting. The pace is completely different – no more waiting months for paper reviews, now it’s deliverables and client calls. The variety is wild though. One day I’m looking at mining data, the next it’s aquaculture, then retail. I’m still figuring out how to context-switch between such different industries, but honestly, it’s refreshing. Let’s see where this goes.
