Developer Advocate & Founder @ ML Data | Data Science & AI Content Creator

I didn't write my first line of code until I was 26. Now I get sponsored by companies like Anthropic, Amazon and IBM to create coding videos as a tech content creator.

My career path has been anything but linear - finance analyst to consultant to data scientist to full-time content creator. At each stop, I felt like I was starting over, but those diverse experiences became my superpower. My finance background taught me business fundamentals, consulting showed me how to solve complex problems, and data science gave me technical skills. 

When I combined all three and took the leap into content creation and developer advocacy, companies started paying attention.

Now I help others navigate their own career transitions by sharing what I've learned across industries and roles.

When I'm not creating content, you'll find me exploring running, playing pickleball or cuddling with my fur babies, Belle and Lola.

I'm always excited to connect with fellow career changers or anyone building something interesting. Feel free to reach out at megan@thedriveagency.co or send me a message here on LinkedIn 👋

IBM just announced they’re tripling entry-level hiring in the US this year.

I break down why this actually makes so much business sense, and why I think more companies are about to follow IBM’s lead in this video 👇

Do you think we’ll be seeing the comeback of entry-level tech jobs this year? 🤔

↳ where
↳ order by 
↳ group by 
↳ aggregate functions
↳ NULLs
↳ basic joins
↳ string manipulation 
↳ date manipulation
↳ arithmetic operators 

Level 2: False Confidence

LinkedIn’s job match feature that helps you strategically focus your job search on all the right roles. Instead of mass applying for ALL the roles you can find, you can now apply for the ones that match your skills and experience the best.

This means that you’re optimizing your job search since you’re applying for roles that you’re MOST qualified for. In this challenging and competitive job market, you truly have to be strategic, data-driven, and work smarter— not harder!

LinkedIn is getting a major upgrade since they’re not JUST recommending roles to you anymore— they’re also telling you how good of a fit it is for you!!

I’m so excited to be partnering with LinkedIn on this since it’s been the biggest platform for my career growth over the past few years 💙

I'll save you about $1M in consulting fees & 12 months of disappointment:

Your data strategy IS your AI strategy.

Most AI transformations are failing not because of the models and technology but because of what's upstream: the data.

Over the years it's been a never-ending cycle of promises:

↳ Machine learning was going to change everything. 
↳ AI was going to change everything. 
↳ Generative AI was going to change everything.
↳ Now Agentic AI is going to change everything.

The technology is never the problem.

Most organizations are sitting on databases full of duplicates, missing fields, undocumented schemas, and business logic that lives entirely inside one person's head who left the company in 2019. 

And that's exactly what you're feeding into these models. And now we're enabling agents to act autonomously at scale with confidence.

Agent confidence is NOT human confidence.

And the most dangerous part is that non-technical (and even some technical stakeholders) don't understand that. They see the little verified check mark, and take it as absolute truth.

We have to fix what's upstream before we can accelerate what's downstream.
