Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer
Data Science and Machine Learning have been two of the most prominent emerging fields in tech in the past decade. As a result, there has been a huge demand for Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers - and thus it's no wonder that many learners, students, and career enthusiasts are looking to make the switch into this field.
What is a Data Scientist/Machine Learning Engineer?
A Data Scientist/Machine Learning Engineer is a professional who has knowledge of both statistics/data analysis and computer science. This person has expertise in one or more high-level programming languages (Python, R, SQL, etc), often has advanced degrees in statistics (Masters or PhD), and often has worked in an adjacent field before transitioning into Data Science or Machine Learning (IE, a research scientist from another domain, a statistician, a software engineer, etc).
