Iratxe Moya López de Guereñu

Python Developer

Interview

Iratxe Moya is a Data Scientist and works as Python Devoloper at Tappx. She is currently working on one of the most exciting ads products such as contextual and, for being successful on that, a continuous learning mood is a must for her job.

Question: How did you get into the programmatic industry?

Answer: As I am a data scientist, I didn’t know much about programmatic before working at Tappx. I started working because I thought that the project was interesting in a technical way, and then I found out what programmatic was.

Q: What is the best part of being a Tech Developer?

A: For me, the best part of being an AI developer is that I need to be in a continuous learning mood. The AI area grows really fast and part of my work is to know how is it growing and which new focuses are in the area so that I can upgrade Contextual products as fast as possible!

Q: Could you list some tips to become a good TD? What are the essential skills needed in your job?

A: I think the most important skill is to be fast learning and capable to find solutions by yourself. Most of the time there aren’t exact examples on the Internet of what you are looking for so you need to be open-minded and capable to take small ideas from projects/code that do not match with what you need but have some similar things.

Q: Tell us about a recent success story or job goal you’re proud of.

A: I have recently (a couple of years ago) been part of the writing of a scientific paper that tries to improve Alzheimer’s detection using Deep Learning. I have done some other things I am proud of after this paper, but nothing with such importance for the whole society.

Q: How do you organize your day? What tools do you use and which of them are your favorite ones?

A: I like to use Notion for organization and note-taking, and Clockify for time tracking.

Q: What do you expect from the future of the industry? What needs to be improved?

A: I really think that the Contextual project is the future, but we still need to improve in video/article contextualization.

Q: Do you have any idea how many emails you send per day?

A: Really few! I work more with Slack.

Q: What app do you use the most in your daily life?

A: Notion, probably. I use it not only for work but for personal stuff too!

Q: What is the first thing you do when you get home and disconnect from work?

A: I usually get a shower and play some video games or read a book.

Q: What would you do if you won the lottery?

A: Depending on the amount of money, I would work only part-time, and I would use the rest of the time for traveling (and I would probably buy thousands of useless things that I would never use)..
