&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m a Data Scientist and Physicist writing about projects, tools, professional development, industry practices, and the industry at large.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="what-to-expect"&gt;What to expect&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m a Data Scientist who occasionally dabbles in some light software engineering. I started off as a physicist working with computational/statistical tools for nuclear physics and have been working in tech for a few years now. What that means is that I&amp;rsquo;ve made that academia-to-industry transition and learned many lessons along the way. Some of this writing will be what my past self wished I knew.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
