Brian Johns

3-Time Olympic Swimmer Turned Data Scientist

My name is Brian Johns. I have spent most of my life involved in sport. I found success as a result of my willingness to learn new skills, apply an analytical mindset and persevere through adversity. As a swimmer, these skills allowed me to excel in the water on my way to becoming a 3-time Olympian and World Record Holder. Now, as a Data Scientist, I am using these same traits to help organizations and businesses dive into their data and accomplish their goals.

I earned my Data Science diploma from BrainStation in 2022. There, I had to balance my time between handing in weekly deliverables, completing a months-long Capstone project and taking part in a multidisciplinary Industry project hosted by Shopify. I was able to maintain excellent grades (94% average), help our team place runner-up in our Industry Project (out of 32 teams) and was selected to become a Teacher’s Assistant based off my performance and ability to communicate.

With this experience, I am now proficient in the following skills to find Data Science solutions:

  • Statistical Analysis using Python and R programming languages
  • Data Processing through SQL (MySQL)
  • Machine Learning using Scikit-Learn, Keras, TensorFlow and PyTorch
  • Data Visualizations with Tableau, Matplotlib, Seaborn and Plotly Express
  • Leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) to find Big Data solutions with tools such as Hadoop, Spark, Hive and SageMaker

You can see the projects that I have worked on in my Portfolio or on my GitHub Page
