We invited Wale Akinfaderin to an informal chat. Wale is a data scientist at Amazon Web Services. He was previously the lead data scientist at Duke Energy Corporation and holds a PhD in Physics from Florida State University. We invited some users on our platform and other guests to join the chat, adding more diversity in the line of questioning to make it a more interesting chat. We touched on multiple topics ranging from understanding the difference between different ‘careers’ within data science, changing expectations as one transitions from junior to intermediate to senior and some of the interesting projects he works on outside of his work.
