Competitions Architect
I am over the moon!
After a grueling and often demoralizing job hunting experience (129 applications over the last few months), I have a fantastic opportunity.
This coming Monday will be my first day in my new job at DataCamp. Can you believe it?
They have given me a three-month contract to help with their data science competitions. My new title is “Competitions Architect.” I am in charge of researching datasets, setting up the challenges, and overall support for the data science competitions on the DataCamp platform.
DataCamp is transforming itself. They are becoming a complete data science ecosystem where you learn, apply your knowledge with projects and competitions, work in their hosted environment, and get certified to prove your skills to employers -all on the same platform.
I am super excited and grateful for this opportunity.
To me, it is a can’t lose scenario: even if my contract ends after three months, I will have learned and gained precious experience with a very respected company in the data science community.
