I recently had a one-to-one consultation session with Mohammad Arshad, and it turned out to be a very insightful one. He gave me some recommendations on how to optimize my LinkedIn profile and improve my Content strategies. And the best part was these were not generic recommendations. They were based on data. He had actually looked at my LinkedIn data and provided pin-pointed insights based on the analysis of that data. That's when I understood why people call him a data scientist. He made a nifty little dashboard to help me make decisions before doing any linkedin posts. I would easily recommend Mohammad Arshad to anyone who wants an analytical look at their LinkedIn presence and make their content strategy more effective based on data-backed insights. In fact, not just Linkedin; I would recommend you to talk to him for any kind of Data Analysis !!
