Tanvi started out her career as an architect. When Tanvi decided to pursue data science, her mother put down her house as collateral to pay for her Master's degree. True to her go-getter drive, Tanvi paid off her student loans in full before graduating. I really enjoyed hearing Tanvi's unique journey into tech, as well as her excitement about the advancements in ML/deep learning. Come hear her money and career journey!
