My Career Journey

Prior to joining Hitachi Vantara, I was a scientist at the University of Oxford researching climate change and tropical rainforests. When I decided to open a new career chapter in my life, I joined Hitachi Vantara as a data scientist via a program for scientists wanting a career in the tech industry. Hitachi welcomed me with open arms – I have received great training, mentorship and became part of a team with great spirit and passion for what they do. 

A Day in the Life at Hitachi Vantara

I work as an advisor and have technical conversations with our customers about data and data science. And I continue to be an advocate for rainforest protection – a common goal for me and Hitachi Vantara. One noteworthy project is a collaboration between the non-profit Rainforest Connection and Hitachi Vantara - they developed forest listening devices that record the forest’s sound. Then, Hitachi uses artificial intelligence to process this sound data to understand what is happening in the forest. Using AI and these forest listening devices, it is possible to reduce illegal deforestations by over 30% worldwide. And this is huge in protecting the forests and animals living in them, as well as reducing climate change. I take pride in the fact that at Hitachi Vantara, we’re engaging in impactful sustainability projects and are focused on doing good for the planet.
