Jayesh Satish
MSIM, 2021
In late 2022, Jayesh reported: "It's been almost two years since I joined Campfire Analytics as a Data Engineer and have been working full time since my graduation. It feels like I am making a difference to a great community of people I work with at my firm. I have also been connecting with few of the current MSIM students to help them with any questions regarding the program or getting internships, as I feel I was in the same place about few years ago. But it has been a good few years full of learning and new challenges and hopefully new year brings the same."
