Our aim is to make the job of the drug discovery scientist faster and more successful using AI/Machine learning and robust data science tools. \nJoining a large corporation, it was imperative to build the right \"maker\" culture where the team could be given the autonomy to start small, build things fast and scale them. In less than six months, I rewrote the interview process, established new ways of working and directly contributed code to new projects. The team is now more than 15 people, regularly releasing the results of machine learning pipeline for the use of our scientists and participating in pipeline decisions. I learned a lot: from how to train NLP transformer models to interviewing effectively, managing data science projects in an applied research setting and run projects at scale.",
