From Microbiology to Machine Learning with Springboard

Microbiology and MBA grad JK started to learn about big data and machine learning in his job, but wanted to learn more about data science in a structured environment. He enrolled in Springboard's Machine Learning Career Track to learn about ML and AI online. JK tells us how he balanced his full-time job with the Springboard bootcamp (hint: he didn't sleep much), and how networking at conferences helped him land his new job as a Data Engineer at KPMG! What is your educational and career background? I didn't come from a computer science (CS) background. My undergrad was in microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics. I then completed an MBA with a concentration in Accounting and Finance, working at the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Korea. And that's where I got a taste of some CS database work.
