“I studied Data Science in NUS and I wanted to find out how the tools and theory I had learnt in an institutional environment could be applied in a real-world setting. Through my internship stint with DOS, I was given a chance to work with real-world data and apply, test and evaluate machine learning algorithms to solve practical problems. The supportive team and the exposure to the wide variety of data collected by government for service operations and policy analysis was the main motivating factor for me to re-join DOS on a full-time basis after my graduation.”
