Jason Hodson is currently working in a forecasting role that uses the full range of applied machine learning. He’s been working in data-centric roles for nearly a decade. In one of his roles, Jason wrote the end-to-end code for the company’s enterprise hiring manager and candidate experience process while also interfacing with the recruiting leaders to understand and leverage the survey. He’s helped build large data models and dashboards, while also helping nontechnical users to adopt and use them. Jason has been a technical mentor for a number of individuals in his various roles, where he’s helped them develop their analytics and programming skillset. The common thread across Jason’s career is his ability to be a translator for stakeholders, peers, and other junior team members. His learning journey also gives him a unique perspective, as he was self-taught in the analytics space before getting his master’s degree in business analytics. This has made his teaching more practical, allowing concepts to translate better (and faster) into the business world.
