Alumnus Igor Malin
For Igor Malin, the Master of Data Science was all about new perspectives.
Graduating in 2018, he is now Software Engineering Team Lead at global information and technology company Bloomberg L.P. With headquarters in New York City, Bloomberg L.P. employs more than 19,000 people across the world and provides financial software tools such as an analytics and equity trading platform, data services, and news.
According to Malin, his Master’s degree allowed him to build on his background in computer science and see data in a new way. He also benefiited from the variety of new people and views he encountered during his studies.
“The people, the friendships, and the different perspectives that surrounded me during the studies were a real highlight”, he said.
“This allowed me to imagine my career differently, to look outside the box, to motivate myself to achieve new heights. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today, working on the cutting edge of Financial Portfolio Management in Bloomberg.”
According to Malin, being able to look at data differently is an important skill, especially in light of increasingly large pools of data we can access.
“Data by itself is not as meaningful as the information and insights you obtain from it”, he says.
