Who is Daliana? This is a conversation I had in 2021 with Harpreet Sahota. I talked about my unexpected journey to data science all the way back in high school, things I wish I could know earlier about my career, the projects I worked on, what is like to be a quote-and-unquote influencer on Linkedin, and more. If you want more content from me, I write about data science and career nerdy jokes, on my Linkedin and you can subscribe to my very infrequent newsletter at dalianaliu.com. I’m curious what you think about this episode, leave a comment on YouTube or send a DM on Linkedin. Hope you enjoy the Daliana special!
