18: Build a Portfolio of Projects and Experiences to transition into Data Science (Jonathan Ortiz, Data Scientist and Knowledge Engineer, Data.World)
Manage episode 188317442 series 1582396
Data Science is a rapidly growing field within technology. But how do you make the transition into getting your first role? How do you navigate the terms, jargon, technical references and more when you’ve never worked in the role before.
Jonathan Ortiz, our featured Empjoyee sheds a light on all of this for us today. Jonathan made the move from media to data science and spends this episode not only sharing his journey, but diving deeply into several elements of the world of Data Science.
You’ll get his take on the programs and tools you should get familiar with, the places you should put your attention to when entering the field, and how to deal with the mental roadblocks so you can reach your next goal (and the ones beyond it).
Plus, we get an inside look into the Semantic Web, an area that that has quickly become a specialty of this newly made data scientist. Get ready to make some moves today!
Enjoy!
Listen now to learn how Jonathan:- Leverages past experiences and skill sets developed in media and marketing to create value on the job as an data scientist within months
- Creates a unique internship through a fellowship that provided money to the company to cover internship costs
- Navigates switching location, job, and relationship status all at once to now live a life that was proactively created
