interesting times

Bentley Systems

Key Strengths

Current experience as a Data Scientist at Bentley Systems.
Demonstrated interest in data exploration and analysis through personal projects like 'PHLCRSH' and 'Philly-Community-Capitals'.
Exposure to various data-related technologies including Python, R, Jupyter Notebook, and DuckDB (wasm).

Cultural & Operational Fit

Cultural Fit Analysis

The candidate demonstrates a strong inclination towards personal projects, many of which involve civic data (Philadelphia automobile crashes, community capitals, traffic cones). This suggests a proactive, self-driven individual with an interest in applying data science to real-world, community-focused problems. However, the diversity of projects is somewhat narrow, focusing heavily on web development and GIS alongside data analysis, which might indicate a broader interest than strictly data science. The experience level is listed as 0, despite a current Data Scientist role, which creates an inconsistency. The target role is Data Scientist, and the current role aligns, but the breadth of personal projects suggests a full-stack or data engineering interest as well.
