One of the worst kept secrets of my career is that I didn’t come from a technical background. I studied Psychology. There was a time that I was intrigued by neuroscience and behavioral experiments to understand the brain.
Around the second half of my Master’s in Social Psychology, I realized I wanted a career change. Some years later, I ended up working in data.
Earlier in my career, people used to ask me all the time how I ended up working in data. The truth is that it was a gradual transition. Before ending up working in data, I briefly gave UX design and digital marketing a try.
In a true data fashion, I decided to create a data visualization instead of explaining the whole story. The graph stops in 2020. Some of the last courses you can see were when I started learning Google Cloud and Linux. But I probably should make another graph explaining how I transitioned from BI to the engineering side of data.
