The agenda is: - Karen Dalton, *Research Software Engineering in Academia: Industry is Not the Only Option* - Michael Galarnyk, *Building a Data Science Portfolio* - Panel discussion, *Career options for Pythonistas* Research Software Engineering in Academia: Industry is Not the Only Option Python is used by many organizations, not just large SV companies and startups. Come hear Karen talk about her experiences in academic research. Speaker Bio: Karen Dalton Karen Dalton (@kilodalton ) is Principal Software Engineer at Stanford University and has been a tech lead for a few large research consortia in the "omics" space (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc), as an individual contributor and as a engineering manager (Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortia [MoTrPAC], Clinical Genome project [ClinGen]). She has also worked in industry. She is a co-organizer of BayPiggies, and has been a volunteer at PyBay for several years. She has been a software developer for over 20 years. While every organization has unique opportunities, academia in particular has a rich array of rewards and frustrating challenges for software developers but they need you! Building a Data Science Portfolio How do you get a job in data science? Knowing enough statistics, machine learning, programming, etc to be able to get a job is difficult. While a resume matters, having a portfolio of public evidence of your data science skills can do wonders for your job prospects. Even if you have a referral, the ability to show potential employers what you can do instead of just telling them you can do something is important. Speaker Bio: Michael Galarnyk Michael Galarnyk works in Developer Relations at Anyscale, the company behind the Ray Project. In his spare time, he teaches Python based Machine Learning classes through Stanford Continuing Studies and LinkedIn Learning. You can find him on Twitter (https://twitter.com/GalarnykMichael), Medium ( https://medium.com/@GalarnykMichael), and GitHub ( https://github.com/mGalarnyk). Panel Discussion Q&A with the speakers and other BayPiggies members about career options. If you are using Python in an interesting way in your job, we'd love to have you join our panel discussion!
