Sam tells us about how his engineering pursuits initially sparked an interest in computer programming, which eventually grew into an interest machine learning. Soon after exiting military service, Sam won VDSML's inaugural FourthBrain Scholarship. Sam tells us about his experience with FourthBrain's bootcamp for aspiring ML engineers - as well as some preliminary information about VDSML's 2022 scholarship opportunities!</p> <p> </p> <p> FEATURED GUESTS:</p> <p>Name: Sam Sipe</p> <p>Email: <a href='mailto:sam@sipe.io'>sam@sipe.io</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/samsipe/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/samsipe/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> SUPPORT THE DATA CANTEEN (LIKE PBS, WE'RE LISTENER SUPPORTED!):</p> <p>Donate: <a href='https://vetsindatascience.com/support-join'>https://vetsindatascience.com/support-join</a></p> <p> </p> <p> EPISODE LINKS:</p> <p>Sam's Personal Website: <a href='https://samsipe.com/'>https://samsipe.com/</a></p> <p>Sam's FourthBrain Capstone Project: <a href='https://amplifygrid.com/'>https://amplifygrid.com/</a></p> <p>Sam's GitHub: <a href='https://github.com/samsipe'>https://github.com/samsipe</a></p> <p>Lex Fridman Podcast: <a href='https://lexfridman.com/podcast/'>https://lexfridman.com/podcast/</a></p> <p>Thinking, Fast and Slow (book recommendation): <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374533555'>https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374533555</a></p> <p>The Signal and the Noise (book recommendation): <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Signal-Noise-Many-Predictions-Fail-But/dp/159420411X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0'>https://www.amazon.com/Signal-Noise-Many-Predictions-Fail-But/dp/159420411X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0</a></p> <p>3Blue1
