I am currently the Head of Technical Interview Preparation at the The Erdős Institute. In this role, I provide lectures and customized weekly problem sets to help students prepare for data science job interviews.

Previously, I was the Head of Data Science Projects for the data science bootcamps. The goal of the bootcamps is to prepare PhDs for industry by creating a portfolio-worthy data science project. The May 2021 Boot Camp cohort included 350 graduate students and post-docs from 77 universities worldwide. More than 90 academic disciplines were represented.

Some of my tasks have included:

• Designing a workshop series on research in business intelligence, including market research (market trends, competitive analysis, business deliverables), UX (user research, interviewing, product design), and consumer insights (survey design, A/B tests, statistical analysis)

• Working with Erdős’ corporate members to create data science project proposals that apply to real-world problems and data

• Leading a team of 10 project mentors

  • Industry-specific data science techniques (machine learning methods, web-app development, etc.)

  • Business value and KPIs

  • Developing skill sets necessary to transition from academia into business/industry positions

• Meeting with bootcampers weekly with all market-ready candidates and by holding open office hours

• Creating project instructions & problem sets, and curating study resources for all bootcamp attendees
