Vincent’s Data Science Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
10+ people coached for Data Science
I know the CURRENT struggle of breaking into data science—because I’ve lived it. As a recent graduate, I interviewed at top finance firms like Bridgewater and Point72, as well as leading tech companies like TikTok and Lyft. Coming from a business background, breaking into data science felt impossible. I doubted my skills, faced rejection, and made every mistake. But I treated the process like an experiment—learning, iterating, and documenting everything. Over time, I cracked the code on landing interviews, mastering technicals and behaviorals, and standing out in a competitive field. Now, my mission is to give you the playbook I wish I had—so you can skip the guesswork and land your dream role faster. I specialize in helping professionals from non-technical and business backgrounds transition into data science with a structured, strategic approach.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I know what it’s like to feel lost on a nonlinear path. As a first-generation immigrant and college student, I had no roadmap—no built-in network to guide me. Every step, from choosing a career to breaking into top firms, felt like trial and error. Mentors changed everything. They helped me see possibilities I didn’t know existed, pushed me to refine my approach, and gave me the confidence to keep going.
