Sports Analytics & Streaming Data Science on Twitch

In this video, I had the pleasure of speaking with Nick Wan. Nick streams data science content on Twitch but has also worked in sports analytics with the Cincinnati Reds. His work there allowed him to recently pivot into a data science manager role at KFC.

Nick and I spoke about his experiences learning data science, breaking into sports analytics, and streaming data science content on Twitch. He also gives some awesome advice related to interviewing for data science roles and learning as you go.
