Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jack Blandin. Jack is a brilliant data scientist and manager that I had the pleasure of working with at Gohealth. Jack moved from software engineering to data science at Trunk Club and never looked back. He has since managed engineering teams at Gohealth, Wayfair, and now Fi. In this episode, we dive into Jack's distaste for the data science interview process, and how he is planning to make it better. We also touch on how he would build an ideal data science team.
