How did you get to become an expert in your key topics?

I made a switch in my career when I had opted to learn about Data Science, and my major in Graduate studies was in Statistics and Applied Statistics. I was well acquainted with Big Data, and Data models, understanding how predictive models work and how they can be applied. Just as important, it allowed me to communicate what a predictive analysis means.

When I studied early on I discovered Kaggle, and it became the go-to place for me to acquire and improve my skills, showcase my success, and network with the relevant ML/DS practitioners. Eventually, my interests and work have moved to some high-impact real-world ML problems, in fields of Data Science and large structured data.
