Julian Andres Rodriguez

Data science bootcamp graduate. Currently working on personal data projects related to the entertainment industry. During the past 12 years I worked as a top-rated freelance producer in the music industry, creating products for brands such as MINECRAFT, Valnet Inc. (SCREEN RANT, LITTLE ANGEL) and MUSOPEN, in projects that reached millions of people. I've also collaborated with startups and companies consulting on music-related technical issues.

I recently finished a data science course, where I improved on and applied a variety of skills such as Python, SQL, statistics, data cleaning, data visualization, analysis, machine learning and deep learning.

Over a decade of freelance work taught me to thrive in team-oriented environments, and in projects that demand a self sufficient approach. I have overseen projects from start to finish, sometimes managing small groups. My professional and personal path is one of continous development: learning by doing, challenging myself, and constantly stepping out of my zone of comfort.

Before obtaining my first college degree, I had already begun a career switch towards production, a trade that I had to learn from scratch. After graduating I also took my first steps in programming by taking a year of an Analyst Programmer course in college, a path that I picked up again in 2022 when I decided to go fully into data.

From Argentina, currently living in Barcelona.
