What do you like about your job and the company?

In my current position, I've had the pleasure of working with a diverse team of people across different borders. It's really amazing how each team member brings their own knowledge, experience and expertise to help develop a solution to enhance our manufacturing processes. Micron has also developed a data science community culture that readily shares new ideas and insights into different algorithms and approaches to the existing problems. The openness encourages rapid collaboration and development. Furthermore, we are regularly updated on the business impact and value that our solutions bring to the company, showing us just how much we are directly contributing to the success of the company.

Greatest achievements

I've had the opportunity to take over the development of an API, UI and also helping design the future system architecture. The API and UI gave me lots of experience with working on the front-end side of things, interacting with end-users and ensuring a smooth user experience. Helping design the future system architecture for the next phase of the project has also been really rewarding. Having to consider how the various components fit together in a huge project and their limitations has deepened the depth of my technical knowledge and provided valuable experience on system design architecture. The new architecture will radically pave the way for rapid prototyping of machine learning solutions towards anomaly detection.

When you are at the start of your career, you will definitely find yourself feeling very overwhelmed with the amount of things you'll have to learn and work yourself around. Its normal to feel this way as you are out of your comfort zone. In order for you to grow, you'll need to be in these situations. Always remember that this is temporary and you'll get through this!

SMAI Senior Data Scientist

Top Insider Advice

The most important thing I have learned in my career by far, is to be open-minded and have a growth mindset. When I first started as a data science engineer, I was obsessed with the idea that I need to be working on those fancy ideas that allows me to apply the cutting-edge data science technologies, and I would be demotivated when assigned to other tasks like data engineering. Gradually, I found that actually all my experiences, no matter how big or small, will make me unique and become useful at some point in time. For example, if I did not have hands-on experiences on the data engineering tasks in the beginning, I would not be able to lead my team and give them good guidance. So my top advice is to be open, positive, and embrace the growth mindset!
