😳 AWS has an API to download reports?? Actually mind-blown. I think that single sentence alone is going to save me A LOT of time as well.

Really great post as always Andres! I had no idea this is how your career in DS got started, very inspired!

Didnt know about your career story. Very inspiring!. You found a problem, run some analysis on it, and delivered value. All crucial things to be a data scientist.

Do you have any advice for people who are in companies with bigger hierarchies and often CEO is not directly accessible ?

Thats a great question Kartik!

To take that next career step within your company, you need someone to champion you. This could be your line manager, team lead, or even a stakeholder.

One of the best ways to gain a champion is by showing both your competency and potential. To do that, focus on creating value (through solving problem) and building credibility, whether through shadowing the data team or getting formal education in the field.

Thank you for reading 🙏
