As a Team Lead Data Science at Coolblue, you're responsible for building and managing a team that excels in delivering high quality, efficient software.
Since last week, a new request has emerged from a Domain Boss in Marketing. He wants to know if Data Science can improve the current recommender system. Today, you have a few hours to work on it, so youve decided to research the best way to create a Proof of Concept for a new recommender systems and you start with reading literature related.
Whew, its already lunchtime. You go outside for a walk with Haseeb and Andres to grab a bite. After lunch, you work on testing some Regularized Regressions for predicting sales and summarize the results. After that, its time for your coaching session with Vitali.
Time to relax. After a game of table tennis with your colleagues, there's 1 more meeting you have to attend. You share your findings and results with the stakeholders before discussing a follow-up proposal with Matthias, Haseeb, and Madeleine (members of the Data Science Core team). Time to go home!
