I had an extensive range of responsibilities including selecting features, optimizing classifiers, mining data, expanding the company’s data by incorporating third-party sources, improving data collection techniques, processing data, and doing ad-hoc analyses. As a Data Scientist, I was required to have excellent communication skills, understanding of algorithms, excellence in the MatLab tool kit, proficiency in GGplot, R and Python, knowledge of SQL, and excellence in applied statistics.
My abilities as a Data Scientist are rooted in a sturdy education in mathematics. I attribute my success as a Data Scientist in large part to this extensive and in-depth education. I believe my personality has also played a major role in my ability to succeed in this career. I am an extremely analytical, data-oriented, and calculated. Even in my personal life I like to look at the data before making a decision. I like to analyze outcomes.
