About Me

Hi my name is Shri Samson. I'm studying to become a data scientist, and actively looking for opportunities.

I completed my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Fresno State. During my breaks from college I worked as a wireless test engineer at Silver Spring Networks. There I got my first taste for significant data analysis, measuring product performance, modeling ways to improve it, and presenting results to stakeholders within and outside the company.

My first engineering job out of college I worked for SolarCity designing rooftop solar systems for over 700 residences.

I want to become a data scientist for 2 reasons:

1. I enjoy finding patterns in data the most in my work.

2. I think data science will be the most exciting field over the next decade and for many more to come.

I'm currently taking Springboard's Career Track program where I'll get to work on progressively challenging data projects with feedback from an industry mentor. Stay tuned to my blog to see the projects I complete and follow me along on my journey!
