While working as a Software QA Engineer at Apple, I wrote a large amount of statistical blog posts to get a breadth of skills outside of my role (story: http://minimaxir.com/2017/05/leaving-apple/)

I did have a statistical background before starting at Apple however. Most of my projects were self-taught and done as self-research (I am not a fan of the take-a-million-MOOCs strategy everyone likes).

Thanks for the link!

I'm mostly interested in self-research.

How'd you know you were doing sound stats?

Oh that's easy ... put money on it, it'll make you a better statistician in no time.
