Ryan Lambert is an award-winning data scientist at American Express. After working in mechanical engineering R&D for the first part of his career, he and his wife picked up and moved to San Francisco sight unseen with no jobs and no plan. After parking cars as a valet, he got a job at Sauce Labs and took a bootcamp in data science, eventually realizing that his own “first principles” – what I think of as transferable skills, the fundamental skills that make you uniquely valuable in the workplace – and adaptability could help him get where he wanted to go. This is a really fun conversation and I hope you enjoy it!
