Julian, Intern Data Science Product Owner: “In the Data Science Product Owner team, I had the unique opportunity to experience the entire process of developing and implementing data science products in the industry – from the initial idea generation to implementation and beyond. It was exciting to see how the data science solutions were increasingly tailored to the stakeholders’ needs through collaborative efforts and how the technical development was refined during the process. Through the frequent interactions with the people from both data science and business units I learned a lot to structure, plan and organize data science projects in an agile manner. One of the most exciting projects I worked on was coordinating the implementation of a GenAI application within a business unit and setting up the corresponding testing approach.”
