GSoC 2021 - Student looking for a mentor - Magzum Assanbayev

[Magzum Assanbayev]

Dear Sirs,

My name is Magzum Assanbayev, I am a Master Student at KIMEP University in
Kazakhstan, expected to graduate in Spring 2022.

Having made some research into your organization I have deduced that my
current skill set might be suitable to your needs.

Out of what I can offer, I have been practicing data analytics for 2.5
years at PwC Competency Centre in Audit and Assurance department dealing
with audit automation with an Alteryx data analytics software. The software
allows seamless big data manipulation and output, and has its own community
sharing the ideas among others, please see link:
https://community.alteryx.com/?category.id=external

As a track record, I can state that the workflows developed under my
supervision have cut significant hours of repetitive work for audit teams,
ranging from 5-20% per audit engagement with positive user feedback. The
range of work done varies from automating mathematical accuracy check of
consolidation reports to disclosure recompilation as well as journal entry
analysis based on a predefined audit criteria. The workflows developed used
Alteryx macros and RegEx to solve the problems in case.

The software is popular among largest corporate brands in the world which
proves its value for cost and actuality in a competitive market of data
analytics software. The evident users of the software are Big 4 audit
companies, Google itself, Coca-Cola, Deutsche Bank, etc.

In addition, I have an entry-level acquaintance with Python and Excel VBA,
having completed 'Crash Course on Python' and 'Excel/VBA for Creative
Problem Solving, Part 1' courses on Coursera (see certificates attached).

Please note that both courses were completed during the busy season under
heavy audit workload being full-time employed at PwC. My eagerness and
ability to learn is backed up by my Bachelor GPA of 4.31/4.33 at KIMEP,
where I studied Finance and Accounting. I was also awarded scholarships and
stipends for academic achievement for several years.

If this letter has caught your eye and made you interested, I am happy to
brainstorm any potential projects that we can do together during the
upcoming summer!

Please let me know by replying to this email.

Thank you!
