🐍 I have more than 8 years of experience in data science and machine learning, and 15 years of experience in Python programming.

🎓 After finishing my postgraduate degree at 🇬🇧 The University of East Anglia (UEA), I worked in a number of startups and scale-up companies in 🇪🇬 Egypt and 🇳🇱 The Netherlands.

🐾 In previous lives I used to work as an Information Security Consultant and Presales Manager. I previously volunteerd in Global Voices Online (GVO) and the Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN).

🔥 I am trying to challenge the old saying, "Jack of all trades, master of none".

Tarek Amr shared a quote
أبي الذي أكره by عماد رشاد عثمان
“الإساءة الروحية:
عبر فرض الشعائر الدينية، والتهديد بالجحيم، واستخدام سيف العقوق وربط الغضب الأبوي على أمور بسيطة بالغضب الرباني، ورواية قصص القبر والعذاب الأخروي أبكر من قدرة عقل الأطفال على الاستيعاب، ويندرج تحتها روايات التفكير السحري المبكرة كقصص الجن، والحسد، والسحر، والأعمال وغيرها.”

Quotes by Tarek Amr  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The first thing to do when developing a model is to understand the problem you are trying to solve thoroughly. This does not only involve understanding what problem you are solving, but also why you are solving it, what impact are you expecting to have, and what the currently available solution is that you are comparing your new solution to.”
Tarek Amr, Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and Scientific Python Toolkits: A practical guide to implementing supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms in Python

“Generating different train and test splits is called cross-validation. This helps us have a more reliable estimation of our model's accuracy”
Tarek Amr, Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and Scientific Python Toolkits: A practical guide to implementing supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms in Python

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions. Naguib Mahfouz”
Tarek Amr, Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and Scientific Python Toolkits: A practical guide to implementing supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms in Python

“He really had been through death, but he had returned because he could not bear the solitude.”
Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

“الحديث مع فتاة متحررة بالنسبة لي هنا كان مثل نسمة هواء باردة ومنعشة، أستعيد بها روحي التي كانت تختنق أمام تناقضات وإزدواجية فتيات يردن التحرر، بينما يقررن أن الزواج والجلوس في البيت قد يكون نهاية المطاف، أو حتي بعض الفتيات المتحررات اللائي لا يرين غضاضة في أن ينفق عليهن رجل بالكامل. لم أستطع أن أفهم منطقهن الانتهازي، الحصول على مزايا التحرر، و مزايا النظام الشرقي الأبوي التقليدي معًا.”
إبراهيم فرغلي, جنية في قارورة

“لا يهم أي درجة من الطمأنينة أصل إليها، هناك دائمًا جزء مني، يجفل من كل شيء، كغزال بري.”
أسما حسين

“Extreme violence has a way of preventing us from seeing the interests it serves.”
Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
