Do you use R and the "hadleyverse"? (Or "tidyverse" I think as he prefers?)
I'm a programmer by trade but I use R because the people who actually work with data use it, and they write good tools for it... I think there is some confusion in the programming world about this. Programmers work with data, but they don't do it nearly as much as "professionals".
Tidy data is a good intro if you're not familiar with it:

And I would recommend going through other publications by Wickam, all on his site -- they are quite readable.

Most of what I've done lately has been as part of software development process, so along the lines of validating the effectiveness different techniques for solving a known problem with a smallish test dataset -- typical engineering style optimization. I'm looking to impose more structure on the process.
