As I continue through my ISM journey, I continue to dive deeper into the field of Data Science – learning what it takes and how it works. Through my research assessment this week, I learned about the Rule of Law and how data science has both benefits and deficits when it comes to making decisions in place on humans. On one hand, it can take a more objective approach to decisions, however, humans often need to take factors into account, such as conditions and background of the situation, that machines are not equipped to deal with just yet. This was incredibly interesting to me because it was at the cross-section of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science – all things that capture my interest. While connecting with multiple professionals on Linkedin, I am excited to say I have scheduled two more interviews with highly-skilled professionals: Mr. Dingchao Zhang, a Senior Data Scientist at Toyota Connected and Mrs. Priyanka Paliwal, the Lead App Developer at Walmart. My meeting with Mr. Zhang was very enlightening, as he discussed with me ideas ranging from his latest project to skills of a data scientist to college majors that would lead me to the best jobs in data science. He described how they are working on non-airbag deployment and micro-collision detection in Toyota cars. The passion he had when talking about his work was inspiring, and I am impressed by his skills and leadership. I am excited to interview Mrs. Paliwal as well, and continue reaching out to professionals and learning about data science.
