#412 - Sravan Ankaraju gets REAL about Getting as many veterans hired in tech as possible!

I started my career as a developer developing large-scale transactional systems applying various tree-based algorithms. So I'm a tech geek at heart, but I have a real passion for education and business strategy. As the founder and CEO of Divergence Academy, I focus on future direction, strategy and product. I believe that Divergence Academy will make a difference in shaping pedagogy models through our learning products in the field of Data Science, Data Engineering and Internet of Things (IoT).

I am a mentor to many aspiring computer students. At Divergence Academy, I get to combine three of my favorite things: Data Science, Machine Learning and teaching. When I am not working in the DFW area with students, you can find me blogging about helping organizations overcome innovation inertia and building capabilities at getoffthedrawingboard.com

Please email me at sravana@divergence.academy or follow @divergencedfw on twitter if you are interested in learning more about the academy - curriculum model, and our approach to bridging academia and industry gap in the Data Science field.
