About Me: 

15 years in Data Science at companies including Amazon & Sony PlayStation where I developed and prototyped Machine Learning based features for the PlayStation 5 - several of which have been patented by Sony. 

I've interviewed & screened hundreds of Data Science candidates, and through this process have learned exactly what can differentiate a standout & successful candidate from the rest. 

I authored "The Essential A.I. & Data Science Handbook for Recruitment"​ 

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to mentor fellow Data Scientists; from their entry into the field, to developing their technical & non-technical skill-sets, as well as providing guidance around preparing for, and being successful with promotions and interviews.​

Please do reach out for support & advice - I'll be happy to help!

Aspiring Data Scientists. Yes, you do need to learn some math.

There is no getting around that.

It underpins a lot of what we do in the field.

But, don't be scared off by this.

You DO NOT need to spend a year reading dusty textbooks before you're allowed to progress, build things, or land your first role.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Start with statistical concepts such as distributions, hypothesis tests, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals, and probability. 

They are the foundations.

From there, start introducing more advanced mathematical concepts, such as Linear Algebra

But, do this as you start applying things like ML algorithms.

It's so much more enjoyable learning while you're testing and modifying things and seeing what changes and why.

You've got this!

💼 Most Data Scientists don’t fail interviews because they lack skills… they fail because they miss this.

After years of interviewing hundreds of Data Science candidates,  I’ve noticed the same patterns over and over again.
