Show Notes

This week we talk with Kristen Kehrer about her journey as a data scientist, developer advocate and content creator.

We dive into how she got into DS and what excites her about the field.

We talk about her developer relations work at Comet ML, her journey from R to Python, and some really cool data projects she has developed lately (scratching her own itch).

For example the school bus one will blow your mind :)

Next we move onto the importance of content creation and growing an audience (building your brand) as a developer.

We talk about Kristen's content creation process, how to stay consistent and how she found success on LinkedIn, but also leverages Reddit.

Then we touch upon imposter syndrome. Kristen shares her perspective on how to better cope with it.

And last but not least, Kristen shares some resources to get up2speed with the data science side of Python.

Mentioned / recommended books:
