*DataPoint* Jason Brimhall on High Performance Data and Being a Data Master

Data Driven: the podcast where we explore the emerging field of Data Science. We
bring the best minds in Data, Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and
Artificial Intelligence right to you every Tuesday. The field of data science
mashes up the worlds of statistics, database architecture and software
engineering. Data Scientist has been labelled by the Harvard Business Review, as
"the sexiest job of the 21st century." A quick search of job search sites reveal
that this field is in high demand. In a world where Data is the new Oil, Data
Science the new Refineries, consider this Car Talk for the Data Age. Every week
we bring the best minds in this emerging field straight to you. Our goal is to
educate and inspire our listeners so that they can be prepared to thrive in a
Data Driven world.
