Open-Source Loan-Level Analysis of Fannie and Freddie
This is pretty cool.<p>When people say to have a github repository, I often worry that people think they have to have some huge project.  Like a fork of Node or something.<p>This analysis would be more than enough for me to give someone an interview.<p>The math isn't complex, the analysis is pretty shallow but it shows that the author knows their way around the basics of:<p><pre><code>    - finding data, this is often the hardest part of data analysis
    - working with data, unpacking, storing, retrieving, etc
    - basic analysis with R or python
</code></pre>
and to be honest, this counts for alot!<p>As a first introduction to a potential employee, this is more valuable than having a good resume and its well within reach of most people, regardless of how busy you are!<p>TL/DR, don't overthink having a public github account.  Basic analysis like this will put you above most other candidates, oh and good job to the author!
