I am super excited (and tired (it's 3:09 AM)) to be diving further into the boundless world of Data Science. One of my best friends was in town a few days ago and he introduced me to Tableau. A couple of days later, I had a fully licensed copy installed on my machine. Two days after that, I got to attend a roundtable discussion at Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Texas. I was surrounded by a small group of community leaders in Data Science. The cities of Plano and Dallas had representatives there, as well as a variety of Data Scientists from a broad range of companies. It was a great experience, and I can't wait to attend other such events.
I have spent the last several hours pouring over datasets and doing my best to produce something meaningful, all while telling a story.
I have since created two original data visualizations. One shows male and female life expectancies around the world. The other shows Internet usage by country.
In February of 2018, I was denied admission to a Ph.D. program in Linguistics. As I was navigating the application process, I simultaneously revisited a dormant interest in computer science. In March I enrolled in a certified Computer Science class via HarvardX, which I completed four months later. I am at the beginning of a new phase in my life-long learning process and look forward to that which the future will inevitably deliver.

Developing an Understanding of...
I'm creating this post in the spirit of a leaving digital post-it-note for myself. Perhaps in a few months or a year, I will be updating my resume, and maybe I'll feel it useful to list some of the areas of computer science that I have an understanding of. It's quite likely that I will forget details along the way. Either way, I am currently studying and gaining a working understanding of C, Java, HTML, PHP, CSS, and Python. I am also becoming familiar with Amazon Webservices, Elastic Cloud Computing, Cloud9, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Git. I'm also navigating streamlined cross-platform source code editors, data science analysis, and software version control protocol.
I'm currently spending as much time as possible; watching videos, working through tutorials, reading articles, and books.
