I deal with big data analytics and build models and visualizations based on that data.
I wake up around 7:00 a.m. and go for a jog. I arrive at the office at 9:30 a.m. and I have a daily standup meeting at 10:30, so I'll try to have learned something new before that meeting; for example, I'll study a new model or algorithm that I can present at standup. Then I'll start my work; oftentimes that involves working on in-house requests from our product manager. In the afternoon, I'll have a meeting following up on my work for the day, then I get off of work at around 6:00 p.m.
