In this pilot episode of the Data Journeys podcast, I'm joined by Andrew Cassidy. Andrew is a freelance Data Scientist, Software Engineer, & Online Educator. It’s amazing all that Andrew has done at just 28 years old, and we cover so much of it in this conversation… from explosive battlegrounds in Afghanistan to the sunny mountains of Boulder Colorado, we touch on topics like Andrew’s childhood, his principles for effectively learning Data Science, & the best/worst advice out there for up-and-comers.
