As the second trimester winds down we seniors find ourselves preparing to journey far and wide to fulfill our Senior Research Projects. My journey is electronic rather than geographic as I work alongside the data analytics company Axtria and learn about the field of data analysis from the comfort of my own home as Axtria does most of their work online.
I am Ryan Smith, future student of Stanford University, passionate mathematician and novice computer scientist. Using the techniques I learn while working with Axtria will help me research how companies use data to target their customers, improve their business practices and make large sums of money. For more information on what I am researching you can view my entire proposal here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzhSjAYafblcX3pzR1lxQlVyb2c/edit?usp=sharing.
Starting with the end of the second trimester on February 7th, I will start my project by beginning my internship with Axtria. I will also be investigating the various applications companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook and Netflix use to manage data and what they get out of it. This internship and research project will be my first step toward life as a college student studying mathematics and computer science at Stanford University!
