Demand for data professionals is high and the data analysis, data science and data engineering sectors are continuing to grow. I interviewed Dr. Anahita Talwar to discover her route in data science and why she chose this career.
What does a typical day look like for you?
I split my time between research, programming and meetings. When I start a project I start by researching to make sure I have the right statistical model for the problem and we try and implement something straight away so stakeholders can use it as we iteratively improve it. Coding is an important part of my job and takes up the majority of my time and then we will have internal meetings as well as meetings with stakeholders to present our findings and give our recommendations to help solve their problems.
