First Commit of Machine Learning

Lucky Jha, a final-year engineering student, has returned to machine learning after exploring full-stack development and data engineering, driven by advice from his mentor Gaurav Surana that data pipelines are becoming AI pipelines. Jha plans to commit to ML long-term and share his journey.

Hey everyone! This side Lucky Jha, a final year engineering student, so like everyone does I also started writing blogs for some reason and almost everyone of you must be knowing the exact reason behind it, yeah that is. Not learn in public, but build in public. So building products using lines of code is my ulimate passion for my life. I love building. I really love it.

Now you guys must be wondering why Machine Learning?

But its not like that, this is not the very first thing I'm starting out with. I have tried so many things before this. I've done full-stack development, Data Engineering, and Machine Learning also.

I did Machine learning back in 2024 when I was in second year of my engineering, I really enjoyed it, I really enjoyed learning and coding it. I did it for around 4-5 months made one project called "Disease Prediction System", but I had to step back out of it not because I was not enjoying but some guy demotivated me that I won't be able to do that. There are so many prerequisites, you should do that first otherwise results will not be impactful.

Then I got in my third year, found out there's a space for full stack development, then I started practicing and building products in/using development. But in just few months I realised that full-stack developer job market has also been captured by AI. And it was the crowdest job market, because every second guy is learning FULL STACK development. I've written a famous tweet/post/quote/phrase for developer job market, it goes like, If you close your eyes, and throw a stone it would hit a Full Stack Developer. Market was/is/will be that tough.

Then After realisation I took a break of 1-2 months from everything, especifically from my techstack, I took a deep break from my tech skills and decided to upgrade it to something unique and else, which will come in demand in coming years. Then suddenly I saw somewhere about Data Engineering, I read something about data engineers, I skilled myself for that role. I gave 2-3 months to it. And after completing all prerequisites, crash course, I called up my most valuable mentor "Mr. Gaurav Surana", He's my go to person for everything. I call him up whenever I get stuck in anything. So after doing all this I called him up regarding an internship referral in his company. And then I faced the reality of it, he directly said me it's getting over, data pipelines are getting converted into AI pipelines. Learn AI engineerng, Machine Learning, and things like them which can be used to integrate with AI.

From then on I decided I turned back that page and started doing machine learning again from the very next day onwards. And I have decided, will do it till the end of the end. So this was my learning journey till now. Will keep sharing more about it (Machine Learning)!
