CodeTheCity: Getting started in a career in Data

Tonight's even is a collaboration between Code The City and The Data Lab.

The evening will cover the theme of “How to get started in a data career”.

Speakers will be Lesley-Anne Kelly and Charlotte Mclean.

Lesley-Anne is the Head of Data Journalism at DC Thomson and based in Dundee. She has more than a decade of experience of working with data and is passionate about democratising data and making it more accessible to the general public. She and her team mix methods such as data visualisation and scrollytelling, with traditional journalism to unlock the stories held within spreadsheets.

Charlotte has over 20 years’ IT experience spanning software development, design & architecture through to data & analytics. She currently manages the Data Engineering team at Aize, building digital twin collaboration workspaces for customers in heavy asset industries. Her early career was in the Financial Services industry developing Java enterprise applications before moving more towards developing solutions for data and improving data governance. Since completing an MSc in Data Science in 2019 she has focused on building data/AI solutions, both to improve productivity and be an enabler to allow people to focus on the value-add activities of their role. She is passionate about data and how data science/AI can help people improve the way they work together.
