“A lot of us data scientists started out working on laptops or servers, but when you move to the cloud, all bets are off. All the limiters are off. How do you fully take advantage of that? How do you change your workflow? What are some of the things that are available to you that you may not know about?”

Drawing from first-hand experience, Nhung shared a few lessons learned from Intuit’s cloud journey last month at Stanford WiDS (Women in Data Science) 2020 in a Technical Vision Talk, Data Science in a Cloud World: What Every Data Scientist Needs to Know.
