Time flies and My Datafication got already 1-year old! Happy Birthday! Kids just grow so quickly! But let's review this year... 12 months and 10 posts... probably not my ideal ratio but this has been a really busy (and exciting!) year. Many things have changed, but the constant is that "My Datafication" is still a blog for young data scientists who want to learn more and succeed in a data science career. But what exactly happened during this busy year?
#1. Joined Smartbox Group as a Data Analyst
When I started this blog I was still a Master student researching on my thesis. However, soon enough I started looking for a job, both in Greece and abroad. I got a few job offers, but you already know the winner! Now, I am counting 9 months working as a Data Analyst in the Operations Department @Smartbox, addressing challenging business problems and providing answers through complex analysis and insightful reports/dashboards. It's worthy to mention that the team I work in is just the best!#2. Moved to Ireland
Since Smartbox is located in Dublin, the next big step was to pack my staff and move to Ireland. Four suitcases, a four-hour flight and four house viewings later, I got my accommodation and was finally enjoying a new life in Dublin. If you want to know about your opportunities as a data scientist here read my post about the analytics landscape in Dublin.#3. Finished my Thesis
After I settled and got used to the new daily routine, I got back to writing my thesis. Working 9+ hours per day and writing an 80-page thesis were not a walk in the park, but I did it! (believe me, you could as well ;) ) If interested, you can learn more about my thesis at the Research Work section of the blog. For the record, the thesis was presented at the Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems on 4/9/2017. Thank you Anastasia and Stratos for making that happen!#4. Graduated
#5. Studied more
#5. Traveled
#6. Committed to be fit
Thank you everyone for reading this blog and supporting me with your likes and constructive feedback. I hope you enjoyed this bragging- year-review. I definitely did. Cheers!
