Philosophy of Data Science

3 Followers

I'm a Director of Data Science, but this wasn't my plan. My degrees are in Philosophy & Religion. I taught online but needed full time benefits to support my family, having graduated during the recession. I started what I thought would be a temporary job at an insurance call center. After being given some Excel processes, I discovered through recording macros that I could control data through the world of VBA. The company created an analyst role and the rest is history. I noticed after a while that I approach data science differently, focusing on problem solving over syntax and memorization. And that seems to help others when I share back what I've learned. This channel is where I will share what I've learned, from high level tips to in-depth evaluations of algorithm fairness news. I will not provide all of the math and technical details that are often required to get the job done, but will hopefully add some clarity and wisdom as we navigate various topics in data science.
