I'm Vegard, and I currently work as the Lead Data Scientist in a software company called Axbit. In addition to that I also have a part-time position as an Associate Professor in machine learning at Molde university college. Today I am happy to answer a couple of questions related to data science, what data science is all about and how working within this field is like. Transcript: How did I become a data scientist? First of all, I think my background is probably a bit different compared to a lot of other data scientists.
