CORE SKILLS Programming: Writing code to manipulate, analyze, and visualize data, often using languages like Python, R, and SQL. Proficiency Level: Proficient AI & Machine Learning: Creating systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. Using Machine learning (ML), a subset of AI that uses algorithms to learn from and make predictions based on data Proficiency Level: Foundational Data Analysis: Inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data to discover useful information, draw conclusions, and support decision-making Proficiency Level: Foundational Machine Learning Pipelines: Using automated workflows that manage the end-to-end process of training and deploying machine learning models. Proficiency Level: Proficient Model Deployment: Making a trained machine learning model available for use in production environments. Proficiency Level: Foundational SPECIALIZED SKILLS Big Data Technologies: Using continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to automate the process of software development, including building, testing, and deploying code Natural Language Processing (NLP): Focusing on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language. Data Architecture: Designing and structuring of data systems, ensuring that data is stored, managed, and utilized efficiently Data Processing Frameworks: Using tools and libraries to process large data sets efficiently, such as Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. Technical Documentation: Creating and maintaining documentation that explains the functionality, use, and maintenance of software or systems. Deep Learning: Using a subset of machine learning involving neural networks with many layers, used to model complex patterns in data. Statistical Analysis: Collecting and analyzing data to identify patterns and trends, and to make informed decisions. Data Engineering: Designing and building systems for collecting, storing, and analyzing data at scale. Definition of Proficiency Levels: Foundational: This is the entry level of the skill, typically expected when starting a new role or working with the skill for the first time. You rely on strong manager support, coaching, and training as you build the capability to progress to higher proficiency levels. Proficient: This is the level at which you are considered effective in the skill. You demonstrate more than just functional competence—you begin to have a noticeable impact in your role by applying the skill consistently and meaningfully. You require only minimal support, coaching, or training to apply the skill successfully.
