Hello, I am a data scientist and obtained my MicroMasters certification from UC San-Diego online program. Throughout my engineering career, I gained 10+ years of experience in managing production, sales, purchasing and shipping departments. They all have one thing in common, which makes them pretty much equally complicated and fun to work with: human beings. I know that, no matter how and where the human being must and shaw always be the center of considerations. Now, after I have decided to switch over my career and go forward with a time-long passion for coding and statistics (data science), I realized that a lot of companies that I knew of had great opportunities for data scientists, however, their end products were not really impacting humanity in general. Indeed, it was impacting only the company customers. This is why I would like to participate in projects that have a greater and broader scope for humanity and the social environment.
