Data Community Content Creator Awards
I am surprised and utterly delighted to be recognized yesterday with the Data Community Content Creator Award for the "Machine Learning and AI" YouTube category. 🥳
From my perspective, my YouTube channel is still in its early days so while I did not anticipate formal recognition like this perhaps ever, I *certainly* did not so soon after launching the channel. This is a massive, galvanizing signal that I should continue pressing on with this nascent video-creation effort — I absolutely will!
First off, thank you to everyone who voted. This category was apparently one of the tightest races in this "Peoples' Choice"-style awards show, so truly your individual vote may have tipped the award in my favor.
Many thanks are due to Sangbin Lee and Maria Lee, who have edited, produced, branded, and marketed every single video on my channel since day one. My freely-available YouTube content would not exist without them. Thanks as well to Guillaume Rousseau, who recently joined us and dramatically accelerated how quickly we can publish perfectly-edited videos.
Finally, thanks to Harpreet Sahota and Kate Strachnyi who conceived of the DCCCA show and delivered it with the flair, fun, and precision that we'd expect from them!
The entire ceremony is on YouTube here. And a short recap post is here.
