Kyle speaks in voiceover: The cool thing about data analysis is there’s a lot of data exploration. So it’ll be just like a basic question, like ‘which customers do the most of X?’ And I’ll look into that, and usually, throughout that, we’ll find a pattern.

Kyle speaks onscreen in front of a red wall: It’s the fastest-paced job I’ve had. In the first week, I did an analysis on the promotion codes, and my sixth day there, I presented to the entire marketing team, which is about half of the company. I knew I wanted to work at a place that would bring change in a good way …

Kyle speaks in voiceover: I want to work in that fast-paced field, and the great thing about data science is that it’s a quickly changing field. I’ve been able to use different languages like R, Python and SQL to solve all of our problems. And just really being able to show and prove that I learned this, and I actually did it in a real-life business …
