I loved the weekly interaction with my mentor, that I could go my own pace, the two projects I got to work on that helped me get a job.
Defined benefit specialist. I needed a career change.
The mentorship.
Take on a unique problem in your second capstone project. Try to really get to know your mentor. Go to as many meetups as possible.
I loved the weekly interaction with my mentor, that I could go my own pace, the two projects I got to work on that helped me get a job. I enjoyed my relationship with my mentor. He was very knowledgeable and patient.
The only challenge I faced was learning data science with no background in IT or coding experience.
My first capstone project was on prediction of Metacritic score. My second project was predicting home sales prices.
I work as an optimization, technology, and automation analyst at Anadarko Petroleum Company. I’m going for a master's in data science.
