Welcome to our 3rd episode of Life at Shopify. 

Today we get to chat with Solmaz Shahalizadeh, our VP of Data Science and Engineering. Solmaz has been at Shopify for 7 years and leads the teams responsible for leveraging data and machine learning to reduce the complexities of commerce for our merchants. Solmaz will be chatting with us about her past career experiences including using machine learning to predict breast cancer, how her team helped Shopify and our merchants use data to navigate and understand the impact of the pandemic, and her advice for anyone interested in a career in data science and engineering at Shopify.
