Seminar Overview

"With so much focus on LLMs and RAG, can I still call myself a 'data scientist'?"

This event is designed for engineers from SIer and SES firms, or individuals without prior experience, who are aiming to become data scientists in their 20s to early 30s. The speaker is a working data scientist who transitioned from a non-technical background and now leads data infrastructure development and CDP architecture design for a major life insurance company.

While generative AI has made project surfaces more glamorous, the need for fundamental data literacy—the ability to engage deeply with data—has actually increased.

How do you translate business challenges into analytical designs? How do you read data critically and question its validity?

How do you drive a project forward? These foundational "patterns" remain valuable regardless of changing tools.

In this session, we will explain the 'Shu-Ha-Ri' of data analysis—first mastering the basics (Shu), creatively applying them (Ha), and finally developing your own style (Ri)—using real-world case studies from actual projects.

WorkX, which has supported hundreds of data utilization projects, will publicly share the standardized analytical frameworks it has developed internally.

During the networking session, you can directly consult with the speaker and WorkX team members about your career path—feel free to join.
