For this episode, we sought to throw some light on data science and data scientists, a trending position in modern companies. We are excited to bring you an episode with Widad Machmouchi, a Principal Data Scientist Manager at Microsoft. She may have ended up in Washington DC but Seattle lucked out in becoming her home. Widad and I talk about
- What does a Data Scientist do?
- Understanding Machine Learning with an example
- A/B Testing
- How she evaluates companies on AI/ML/data-driven claims
- Skills such as “Math Maturity” that one should get to enter Data Science
