While there is no such thing as a “typical day”, these are activities we frequently find ourselves doing the following:
- Partnering with clients to uncover and frame new opportunities for data science. Clients often come to us without a clear understanding of what we can do, so this is our chance to open their eyes to new possibilities for their businesses.
- Pairing and writing code together with clients around engineering features, training models, tuning hyperparameters and evaluating results. We emphasize rigor, because data science done right at this stage leads to models that shine in production.
- Taking the models we build into production. This is an exciting stage for anyone who likes collaborating with product teams and seeing their model become real when users interact with it.
- Helping our clients develop their internal data science practices, through mentoring and pair programming, so that they can be successful when we hand off the project.
- Continuous learning by building demos and prototypes on new technologies, methodologies, and frameworks. Presentation of learnings and findings for internal audiences, external conferences, and blog posts.
