Abstract
In this talk I will discuss my early career as a Data Scientist and Software Engineer. The skills necessary for these two types of roles overlap and complement each other. Drawing on my experiences in both fields, I will share some of the skills I’ve found valuable in each position and why I’ve chosen to follow this path. I will focus on the ways in which developing solid software skills have made me a better Data Scientist. Finally, I will describe some of the specific problems I’ve worked on as a Data Scientist and Software Engineer and how a background in mathematics can aid in solving these problems.
