Data Science as a Profession Speaker Series: Cristos Goodrow

Poster advertising 2 talks by Cristos Goodrow, Vice President of Engineering at YouTube.

This semester, TDS is bringing individuals working in data science to campus to help you connect what you are doing at ND with what is happening outside ND. Join us to learn about the journeys our speakers took to their current roles, what their day-to-day work looks like, and what advice they have to share with you. Speakers are recruited across a range of data science related roles and industries to help you understand the possibilities for careers in this area.

This event is student-focused, but all are welcome! Lunch will be provided.
