About Arpit Choudhury 

Arpit Choudhury is a non-engineer who loves data and application programming interface (API). He started Data-led Academy as a side project about a year ago because of the lack of educational resources for non-techy people, but now, it’s a full-time endeavor. 

Challenge is a word that can be connected to Arpit—he likes to think about the big challenges we face as a society, work on challenging problems, and challenge the status quo. He is also driven by building value and passionate about contributing to communities.
