To and Through Data Science

Agenda

In this talk Jimmy will be telling the story of his journey to, then through Data Science, starting from his finance/accounting days (Symantec, 2013), all the way until the present day (2022, Sr. Data Scientist at LinkedIn). He will touch on highs, lows, moments of triumph and setbacks, and working full-time/doing a Masters part-time for 7 years. He hopes to share with the audience some wisdom that he has gained on this journey and leave them with some words of encouragement (that persistence and a good attitude are some of the best tools you can have in any pursuit of life).
