I started my career into computer networks and information security. I worked in that field for 9 year, and I was leading a team of 5 at some point. But then in 2012, I felt the need to change my career. I was fascinated by machine learning already, and thus, decided to do my MSc in Machine Learning. After finishing my studies in 2013, I started my new career as a data scientist. I worked on different problems from natural language processing, to price estimation and recommendation engine. I have also published books on data visualization using D3.js and machine learning using Scikit-Learn and Python. I do see my skillsets as a t-shaped one. Although, my main interest is machine learning, I do build side projects using back-end and front-end web frameworks. I like to read about product management, behavioral economics and blockchain. I believe it is important to keep my eyes open to new things, in the end, you may need these intersections with multiple fields one day in your job.
