Nice to Meet You

I'm Jules Malin

I'm a husband, father, teacher, coach, advisor, and leader of data science teams. My personal and professional life experiences have led me here. I've experienced the challenges of changing careers, landing my first data science job, transitioning to team manager, then to a director role, and finally becoming a professor and professional data career coach.

I coach early and mid-career data professionals and help guide them toward their goal of landing their first data science job, career transition, next job, or promotion they are shooting for. With the proper guidance, more challenging, fulfilling, and financially rewarding jobs are within your reach. 

Through 1-on-1 personalized coaching and on-demand courses, you too can learn the skills you need to land your data dream job.

My Story

My career started in Silicon Valley as a program manager at a startup. My next move was into supply chain planning, analyst, and product management roles at Intel, NetApp, and Shutterfly. While I was at Intel, I realized I wanted to transition to a different career. So, I enrolled in a master's program in data science. The skills I acquired enabled me to transition into a career in data science at GoPro. 

The challenges of transitioning careers, applying my technical learnings from school, and building teams at GoPro taught me that the knowledge and skills acquired from master's programs, boot camps, and online technical classes weren't enough to be successful in the real world. These platforms don’t teach everything you need to know about landing job interviews, succeeding in those interviews, and doing real-world machine learning and data engineering work. That’s when I decided to give back and help build two master's programs, develop practical courses, and teach at the University of San Diego. 

Now, I’m focusing on offering ultra-practical and highly effective on-demand digital courses and personalized 1-on-1 coaching to help others land their dream jobs and launch fulfilling careers.

Why I Do It

I experienced the challenges of figuring out how to transition to a career in data science, how to land interviews, how to get promoted, and how best to navigate a career in data. I see this same struggle, confusion, and uncertainty with students I teach, friends, colleagues, and even strangers who reach out to me seeking guidance and advice. Schools and boot camps don’t teach you everything, and the free information online isn’t free because it costs you time to sift through the good and bad advice, requiring you to figure out which is which. 

This is why I create courses, teach, and coach. I want to help others save time and learn the highly actionable and practical skills they need to achieve their job and career goals efficiently. Professionally, nothing is more rewarding for me than knowing that I helped someone land a job and develop a career that is fulfilling for them professionally, personally, and financially.
