Moshood Abayomi Yahaya
MSc Applied Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics
Why did you apply to the University and why did you choose that course?
My choice of the University of Bradford perfectly fits my strategic learning path and the course is a direct fit with its equal offering of technical and non-technical courses. I had a good technical background and required an avenue to compliment it with non-technical, AI skills, which the University and the Course offered.
How did you find and secure your placement?
I have learnt extensively from the Co-Founder of iNeuron, Krish Naik. His YouTube videos are my first point of call when searching technical solutions. Therefore, it was only natural to key into the internship arrange at iNeuron, which afford the opportunity to learn extensively on live projects. I registered for the internship on the company’s website and got an approval.

Go for value over money, go for an opportunity to learn and get shaped
Was it a worthwhile experience? If so, how? What have you learnt?
Absolutely, it helped to be involved in an ML project from start to finish. It’s a typical “full stack” data science project which held to learn data science implementation from data sourcing to analysis , EDA, model building , monitoring and deployment.
What are your future plans now that you have completed your course?
My aim is to consolidate the learnings from this experience and channel it into attempting more fully end to end, real life machine learning projects.
What advice would you give to future students thinking about doing a placement?
Simple, go for value over money, go for an opportunity to learn and get shaped.
