Mechanical Engineer gone Data! I went into my Bachelor's having fully accepted to become a Mechanical Engineer. However, upon taking classes, I found myself driving up a passion working with code! Mechatronics, Python of Fluid Dynamics, Excel VBA, Mathematica, MATLAB, Raspberry Pi's, Arduino's, Computer Vision! Out of school I got a job with doTERRA in their manufacturing space, where I was able to spin up projects from scratch that helped replace their immense use of paper for data collection. Helping revolutionize their data collection processes to be more tech-savvy is what kick-started my career in tech.
Having a study background in Mechanical Engineering helps me see data in a more practical way and leads me to ask the right questions regarding source data.
