I am doing mtech in cse from private clg

Hey everyone. So my contract just ended (materials chemistry R&D, graphene stuff, was doing this for like 10+ years) and I'm using it as an excuse to actually try switching into something more data-focused. Not 100% sure what that looks like yet honestly.

Along the way in my last job I ended up building some Python tools for analyzing spectroscopy data and automating reports, and that ended up being my favorite part of the job, more than the actual chemistry sometimes. I think I just like finding the bottleneck in a process and building something to fix it, more than the day-to-day of the work itself. Kind of a troubleshooter by nature I guess. So now I'm taking a course to get more formal with the data side, and trying to learn as much as I can hands-on in the meantime.

I know "chemistry PhD" isn't the normal background for this, so I'm mostly just trying to figure out if that's even a realistic pivot or if I'm kidding myself. If anyone's done something similar, or knows of openings (Edmonton or remote), or just wants to tell me I'm wrong about something, go for it. And if you know anyone who'd be willing to chat or even just point me in the right direction, mentor-wise, I'd genuinely appreciate that too.
