Today as my guest I am hosting Anna Aleksieva, Senior Machine Learning Engineer. She has extensive experience in startups, and most recently within financial services for one of the UK’s largest challenger banks. She has in-depth knowledge in data science, and machine learning. In today’s episode, Anna will be sharing with us her career journey to date, how she was in split minds as to what industry and specialization to pursue post university, and how her love of mathematics motivated her to pursue a degree in Computer Sciences.  Given her exciting career journey to date I hope that a lot of you will find her insight inspiring, useful, and interesting for those of you that would like to pursue a career in machine learning.   Note: The views expressed in this episode are personal in nature and in no way reflect the views of any organization, company, or institution.
