Welcome to another episode of Develomentor. Today's guest is Dinesh Shenoy!
From graduating college with a double major in history and physics to changing oil at Jiffy Lube while he figured out what\u2019s next to 7 years as an attorney for Aronson and Associates, Dinesh Shenoy has taken, in his own words \u201can unusual career path\u201d to becoming a data scientist in 2016.\xa0
Along that path, in addition to that double major in undergrad, Dinesh picked up a law degree from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Minnesota before deciding to see what data science is all about.\xa0 As a data scientist, he\u2019s held down roles for Veritas and now CH Robinson.\xa0

Quotes
\u201cBy the time I finished my education I had my feet in both camps. I thoroughly enjoyed my physics education, I liked the value of it. But history opened up my mind to a broader perspective rather than thinking of just some technical path in life.\u201d
\u201cOutside of the team, people don\u2019t need to see the math they want you to boil it down for them and help them make a solid business decision one way or another. And boil it down in a quick way.\u201d
\u201cI first started hearing the term \u2018data scientist\u2019 when I started thinking about \u2018 if I\u2019m not seeking an academic career path, what is there for someone like me in the job market?\u2019\u201d
