Why I Chose Machine Learning as My Future Career Path
Hey there!
I want to share my story about why I decided to pursue a career in Machine Learning (ML). It’s been quite a journey, and I’m excited to tell you all about it.
Getting Bored with Regular Coding
You know how sometimes you do something over and over, and it starts to feel boring? That’s how I felt about regular coding jobs. Sure, I was making cool user interfaces and solving business problems. But after a while, it felt like I was just repeating the same stuff with slight changes. I needed something more exciting!
Missing My Math Skills
Math was always my favorite subject in school. I loved solving tricky problems and figuring out complex equations. But in my regular coding job, I wasn’t using much math at all. I felt like I was forgetting all that cool stuff I learned. I didn’t want to lose those skills, you know?
Wanting to Stand Out from the Crowd
Let’s face it — there are tons of software engineers out there. It’s a great job, but it’s also super competitive. I started thinking, “How can I stand out? How can I be part of a smaller, more specialized group?” That’s when ML caught my eye. Not as many people were doing it, especially in Sri Lanka.
