In this interview Olamide Adigun delves into the art and science of predictive analytics

Nice catching up with you. Your expertise in predictive analytics has been pivotal in enhancing operational efficiency for various firms. Can you share a specific instance where your predictive models played a crucial role in preempting faults and foreseeing trends?

Olamide Adigun (OA): One standout example was at Newcross Healthcare, where we implemented a predictive model to forecast patient admission rates. By analyzing historical data and external factors, we could predict peaks and valleys in admissions. This not only optimized staffing levels but also ensured the highest quality of patient care.

Your journey has taken you through Interswitch, Newcross Healthcare, and fintech ventures. How has the dynamic nature of these industries influenced your approach to crafting predictive models, and what lessons have you carried with you from each experience?

OA: Each industry brings its unique challenges and opportunities. In fintech, for instance, there’s a need for real-time insights, while healthcare demands a more nuanced understanding of patient behaviors. These experiences have taught me the importance of adapting my approach to the specific nuances of each sector and the immense value that a well-crafted predictive model can bring to diverse industries.

You’re skilled in Python, R, SQL, Azure, and Apache Hadoop – a formidable arsenal of tools. How do you navigate the integration of these technologies to transform raw data into actionable strategic insights, and do you have a favorite tool in your toolkit?

OA: The integration of these tools is like orchestrating a symphony. Python and R are my creative instruments for analysis, SQL for extracting and organizing data, while Azure and Hadoop provide the scalable infrastructure.

It’s about choosing the right tool for the task at hand. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Python for its versatility and the vibrant ecosystem of libraries.

As someone at the forefront of transforming information into strategic insights, can you share an instance where your analytical approach led to a significant breakthrough, or a paradigm shift in your understanding of data?

OA: Certainly. At Interswitch, we faced a challenge in optimizing transaction processes. Through extensive data analysis, we discovered patterns that allowed us to streamline the entire system, significantly reducing processing times. It was a breakthrough that highlighted the power of data-driven insights in reshaping fundamental aspects of business operations.

The landscape of data science is ever evolving. In your perspective, what emerging trends or technologies do you find most intriguing, and how do you see them shaping the future of predictive analytics?

OA: The convergence of AI and data science is undeniably fascinating. The ability to leverage machine learning for more complex problem-solving opens up new horizons. Additionally, the ethical considerations surrounding data usage are becoming increasingly prominent, shaping a more responsible approach to predictive analytics. The future lies in striking a balance between cutting-edge technology and ethical practices.

For aspiring data scientists looking to make a significant impact, what unconventional advice would you offer that goes beyond the standard skill set development?

OA: Embrace failure as a stepping stone to success. In data science, experimentation is key, and not every model or analysis will yield the desired results. Learn from the setbacks, iterate, and persist. It’s the iterative process of learning from failures that often leads to the most groundbreaking insights.
