<p>Once an accountant in Ukraine, Iryna’s move to Belgium and a new culture inspired a fresh start. After learning web design from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.hackyourfuture.be/">Hack Your Future Belgium</a>, one of DataCamp Donates’ partner organizations, she now works with us full-time as a frontend developer. Read on to find out how, for one woman, data got democratized.</p>
<h4 id="let-s-start-with-the-present-what-do-you-do-at-datacamp-">Let’s start with the present: what do you do at DataCamp?</h4>
<p>I started last March as an intern in software development, and incidentally, today is my first day working in this role full-time. Right now, I work with the commercial team on all DataCamp’s signed-out pages: that is, when you visit the website all the pages you can reach from there without signing in is our work.</p>
<h4 id="what-does-your-job-typically-involve-">What does your job typically involve?</h4>
<p>I start my day by checking new tickets (requests from colleagues that relate to my job). Then we have our daily meeting—although this gets repeated later in the day because of the time gap between us, the London team, and the team in the US. Usually, I have a couple of other meetings with other team members to ask work-related questions—other than that, I press on with all the jobs on my plate.
Working from home was a bit strange at first since I started my internship completely remotely, so I saw two people from the office on my first day when I went in to pick up my laptop, and have never seen my teammates in real life since. Still, the communication and everything else works so well here at DataCamp that it never really feels lonely.</p>
<h4 id="going-back-in-time-where-are-you-from-">Going back in time, where are you from?</h4>
<p>I’m from Ukraine and I moved to Belgium one year ago. That actually inspired my career change. Originally in Ukraine I was an accountant, and I moved to Belgium since my husband was working there. When I moved here it was a new beginning, and I asked myself if I would like to transition into something else. In the end, I chose to transition to web development, and I’m really happy that I made that choice—I love this job, there’s so much variety to it, so much room to be creative and so much room for me to learn!</p>
<h4 id="where-did-your-interest-in-tech-start-">Where did your interest in tech start?</h4>
<p>When I moved I was kind of out of my depth. My English wasn’t perfect, I didn’t speak any Flemish or French, so when I went to an integration course to learn these languages I also had an opportunity to take courses in tech too—HackYourFuture ran one. They would later become one of DataCamp Donates’ main partners. They were offering tech courses to newcomers and refugees in Belgium for free—I didn’t really know if it was for me, but I decided to give it a try. I ended up spending the rest of the year in that course, and afterward decided to pursue it as a career. I came across the internship on DataCamp, and now that’s me working in development full-time! My first project, incidentally, was DataCamp Donates itself, when they were working on launching their own site. Effectively, my role was using Squarespace to make the site match the main site’s design.</p>
<h4 id="is-there-anything-you-ll-be-working-on-in-the-future-that-particularly-excites-you-">Is there anything you’ll be working on in the future that particularly excites you?</h4>
<p>I really like the fact that I work with DataCamp Donates to expand what they do to more countries. For me, that quite literally hits close to home. But every day there are new projects coming in, and the main thing that excites me is that I work with such amazing people from whom I can learn a lot.</p>
<h4 id="any-advice-for-how-datacamp-donates-can-better-itself-since-you-ve-experienced-what-they-offer-as-a-learner-">Any advice for how DataCamp Donates can better itself since you’ve experienced what they offer as a learner?</h4>
<p>Keep doing what you do. There are a lot of countries like, for example, Ukraine itself where development is beginning to take root. So, the education and lifestyle are great in the capital but in smaller cities and the countryside not so much. As a result people really have an interest in upgrading their skills, and parents are determined to ensure their children get the best education.</p>

Live Event: How To Stand Out From the Crowd

<p><center><a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.datacamp.com/email/other/Python+vs+R.pdf"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dyd911kmh/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto:best/v1603467084/Tutorial__R_or_Python_for_Data_Analysis_fkkn9s.png" /></a></center><br></p>
<p>It&#39;s hard to know whether to use Python or R for data analysis. And that’s especially true if you&#39;re a newbie data analyst looking for the right language to start with.</p>
<p>But it is possible to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of both languages. One language isn’t better than the other—it all depends on your use case and the questions you’re trying to answer: What should I use for machine learning? I need a fast solution, so should I use Python or R?
Python vs. R for Data Analysis
At DataCamp, we often get emails from learners asking whether they should use Python or R when performing their day-to-day data analysis tasks. Both Python and R are among the most popular languages for data analysis, and each has its supporters and opponents. While Python is often praised for being a general-purpose language with an easy-to-understand syntax, R&#39;s functionality was developed with statisticians in mind, thereby giving it <a href="http://www.quora.com/Which-is-better-for-data-analysis-R-or-Python">field-specific advantages</a> such as great features for data visualization.</p>
<p>Our infographic &quot;When Should I Use Python vs. R?&quot; is for anyone interested in how these two programming languages compare to each other from a data science and analytics perspective, including their unique strengths and weaknesses. Click the image below to download the infographic and access the embedded links.</p>
