About

Naren Mohan is a highly analytical and detail-oriented Research Assistant at Northeastern University with a passion for problem-solving and using modern technologies to find solutions. With over 3 years of experience as a Data Analyst and an aspiring Data Scientist, Naren has worked for Sony, analyzing vulnerability data and planning remediation processes for platform teams. Naren believes that the role of a Data Scientist is similar to that of a detective, where you gather data from various sources, clean and organize it, apply various techniques and algorithms to find deeper insights, and draw conclusions out of the data. He is proficient in several programming languages, databases, frameworks, and techniques such as Python, R, SQL, C++, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, Flask, Beautiful Soup, ggplot2, dplyr, Data Wrangling, Web Scraping, ETL, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Regex, and API. Apart from his technical skills, Naren is also interested in various extracurricular activities such as Cardistry, Badminton, Cricket, Photography, Video editing, Cooking, and Travel. He believes in enjoying the process rather than focusing solely on the results and constantly pushing oneself to do things that seem impossible. Currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Sony, Naren has analyzed vulnerabilities in over 120,000 machines daily and helped different platform teams prioritize their remediation. He has improved the remediation posture of Sony Asia-Pacific companies by 600% with bi-weekly engagement and advisory efforts. He has also created dashboards and reports using Python and MS Excel, conducted multiple training sessions on strategizing remediation, and mentored team members during their onboarding. Naren has saved over 40 human hours of effort by automating over 20 tasks that were carried out manually by creating Python scripts using APIs. He has also secured the Best Performer of the Quarter Q4 2020 award for leading the project during the sudden departure of a Senior Consultant. Naren holds a Master's degree in Data Analytics Engineering from Northeastern University, a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering from CMR Institute of Technology, and a Pre-University Education degree in Computer Science from St. Joseph's Pre-University College. He is skilled in several areas such as Software Engineering, Data Science, Research Science, AWS, SQL, Flask, MongoDB, Seaborn, Deep Learning, Scikit,
