Was invited to share with the SMU Masters of IT in Business students on (i) how I got to my current position as a data scientist and (ii) what I do in my current position. Includes suggested areas to focus on (e.g., distributed systems and processing) and how to gain more experience (e.g., volunteering). I also go through the problems that we solve at Lazada using machine learning and a high level architecture of how we do it.
