The course contains four essential components1. coding and programming (including the use of algorithms) in Python3 and SQL.2. Using different statistical methods to analyze data.3. Adapting to the data science job market.4. Communicating with people coming from different backgrounds. As part of the course, I competed two capstone projects; one was using linear regression to predict the median house price for a suburb from the Boston housing data in 1978. This project used tabulated data containing 13 columns and 512 rows where each row represented the median house and suburb information for a suburb in Boston. The other capstone project was using logistic regression to predict which applicants would receive approval for a mortgage loan from a bank. This project used 14 columns of tabulated data with 600 rows each row representing an applicant. Based on the information of the applicant as given by 13 columns, the 14th column (target variable) was predicted using a logistic regression algorithm. This column represented whether or not the applicant would be approved for a mortgage loan. Show less

This temporary role expanded my experience of QC testing on fertilizers in production. In Agrium, I worked with nitrogen based fertilizer such as urea and ammonia. This job, I worked with sulfur based fertilizers with bentonite clay. There were both physical tests such as sieving, pastille or granule sizing, clay swelling, clay moisture, bulk density and friability. There were also chemical tests such as determination of sulfur composition in all fertilizer products. Statistics were… Show more This temporary role expanded my experience of QC testing on fertilizers in production. In Agrium, I worked with nitrogen based fertilizer such as urea and ammonia.

This role gave me the opportunity to expand my skill set by learning MWD mechanics and electronics. As a team of 7 people, we assembled MWD tools for oil and gas drilling. Bench tests were carried out for all assembly receiving and re-service of tools. My focus was assembling and QC testing lithium batteries and transmitters. Other tasks included disassembly of tool parts, reviewing failure reports and improving the quality of production through creating checklists that are congruent with… Show more This role gave me the opportunity to expand my skill set by learning MWD mechanics and electronics.

After deciding to travel to Australia, I decided to take up a part time job working as a liquor store cashier downtown Calgary to save up travel money. This role involved till operation and liquor store maintenance. Theft prevention was very demanding since there was quite a few incidence in this high crime location. I also got the opportunity to educate myself attending liquor tasting functions. It was a great low-responsibility job where I could make new friends.

Since the specifications of the product in demand frequently changed, QC and QA was frequently done such as quick tests. Sample preparation and operation of an autosampler was carried out to produce nitrogen release concentration curves to predict the behavior of the fertilizer in the ground. Wax titrations were included. Data entry of the results was carried out using LIMS and LIMS SQL. The data was also analyzed and managed on a daily basis. Show less

This was my first job coming out of school. Working with a team of lab technicians, our job was to conduct tests for soil, fresh and waste water samples. I started doing BOD/COD and TKN testing as well as soil extract preparation and pH testing for water samples. I later progressed to using ICP technology to test for metal types and concentrations in the water samples. This involved preparing water samples for ICP analysis using digestion techniques. Data was generated from the tests… Show more This was my first job coming out of school. Working with a team of lab technicians, our job was to conduct tests for soil, fresh and waste water samples.
