I Almost Failed Coding. Today I Build AI Models at IBM. | Tensor Thinks

Описание: Is it possible to become a Data Scientist without a CS degree, without the internet, and starting from a village?

In this video, I share my raw and honest 10-year journey from a small village in West Bengal to becoming a Data Scientist at IBM in 2026. This isn't a "get rich quick" video. It’s a story of struggle, failing at C programming, grinding through Civil Engineering, and rebuilding my career from scratch.

From studying for JEE with just books and curiosity (no internet) to building AI models for global clients, this is the reality of the transition that no one talks about.
