My name is Robert. I'm from Tennessee. Originally, United States, Um, through up there, uh, way. When I was in high school, I figured I'm running their school in a bigger city. So I went to school in D. C. On the Georgetown. In there. I was in English and history majors was always more geared towards the local arts. Loved reading the history, like writing history papers, English papers less. So, um, so I spent four years in D. C doing liberal arts. Essentially so after that were during the senior year, I really was having trouble finding a job was washing. My friends Go on from the banking consulting and, you know, start ups and a plethora of other industries, and I just cannot get my foot in the door. So I heard of this program a huge a University of Virginia in Charlottesville that was a one year major for people who were liberal arts majors. Were science, majors, engineers, you name it. And there they taught me business was just a year. So would like a full MBA or anything like that. So it learned paddock code I learned are which some of you probably have heard of, and from there I was able to work my way to a technical job and consulting in the D C. Area. And, uh, I started doing this analytics data processing, working cloud, um, our python Not so much Front and technologies job scripts beyond me, for now, in other Pipeline Tool Software's. So I did that for about a year at a company called Booz Allen, which the big federal contractor. And that was really tough because I'm an English major in computer science world and everyone else has been doing private on since. They were basically in the cradle, a gay freshman year of college. And it was still new to me. So I was trying not to be in a pot, an imposter and a technical world, which was really fun and interesting, because I got to learn a lot and tender, you know, Grinham, Barry, and go home and learn are on the side. Keep learning it in python. And that was a huge challenge because everyone expects you to know what to do, You know, quick, frankly, Klein and pipe under oranges like all right, that might take me a little bit longer. You go, Go home and research was tonight. So after about a year of boobs, I jump Detroit and doing I'm doing the same thing with every client in the D C area or bigger agencies. Cooler agencies, actually. And, uh, so we supporter analytics across the department within price of analytics. And I do get to python tableau use various date engineering tools, so, tormentor.

okay, um, responsibilities and decisions. I'm at the consultant level. So I'm not technically leading projects that I'm only two years and my correct, so hopefully serum later. But, um were we help the team? Well, I have people in my level help with team leaders, decide what needs to be done and what needs to be done. So we use process for fragile, and you come up with backlog of items and then you distribute to the team and they were on that drill. Sprint defined period of time. So you have one week sprint to experience whatever is and you work on your tasks that were assigned at the beginning. And then you just do that for two weeks. You don't bring in new stuff you hammer, Would you got, um So my responsibilities are making sure with my task in the data and what it's done, right, describes, and you'd be written, connected the people and be connected to inside technical. You have to talk your clients, right? Consultant can be a brick and not be able to talk to me when you've got to be ableto finesse and maybe bodies with. And as good report was only clients to plus co workers and not be fake with their clients, obviously, but you want to be genuine, and you want them to like you, so they keep giving you your business as a federal contractor or just any kind of consultant in the evening. The commercial world You're still contractor, so it's, um so weekly work hours. It's it's a 9 to 5 job, but it coming like the wood expects a little bit more because it's for initiatives and you keep learning yourself on your own time. Like, you know, off coworkers or myself were studying towards azure certifications in the cloud. So it's 9 to 5, but really a bit more. That and, well, we can work this rare on the government side, So I guess I should go back. Deloitte Consulting is split into government commercial on the government side commercial. That's where they travel. So you know they traveling Sunday night Monday morning, you know, at a client site through Thursday. There's the afternoon, and they really come back Friday. So it's it's kind of a four plus 14 days, a workforce, one day travel, which I never have to dio. Sure, they get a little more works on the get swiped the company credit card. A little bit bored, but that doesn't I don't I don't need that. I get to live in D. C. And I get to walk to work or take the metro or right student or or take a bus, whatever uber, Um, and it allows for more connectivity with my friends in the D C area. So basement all time traveling on commercial side government folks don't unless you state or local clubs.

thing, especially in my my project of my contract is everyone is either a python extraordinaire for myself, English major and or a tableau. Visual guru tableaus visual software. You make dashboards interactive, cool colors, client luxury because they're not tentacles. They click around and you know, messing stuff to their heart's content. So we build dashboards and then we build back and infrastructure. We've sequel, um, which is huge, huge thing. The day world. It's just standard. You don't know sequel probably should. It's easy to work with. You were in a stack overflow in a day where you don't even need to memorize. You can just look up pushing it dio. The one thing I've learned is that if you ever need to write anything, Python are sequel. It's already been written somewhere else. They don't reinvent the wheel going stack overflow. Could Bleidt? It's all there. You might have to adapt it. Change variables. That's fine. Do right
