If you want to know where data science is heading, it helps to know where it\\u2019s been. Very few people have that kind of historical perspective, and even fewer combine it with an understanding of cutting-edge tooling that hints at the direction the field might be taking in the future.

Luckily for us, one of them is Cameron Davidson-Pillon, the former Director of Data Science at Shopify. Cameron has been knee-deep in data science and estimation theory since 2012, when the space was still coming into its own. He\\u2019s got a great high-level perspective not only on technical issues but also on hiring and team-building, and he was kind enough to join us for today\\u2019s episode of the Towards Data Science podcast.
