Hacking the Perfect Commute with a Move to Dublin
March 19, 2022
Having made the move from marketing analytics to specialising in machine learning, Jivan is accustomed to adapting quickly to new challenges.
But happily, she describes her move from London to Dublin as a seamless one. Part of the team at , Accenture鈥檚 multidisciplinary research and incubation hub at 7 Hanover Quay, Jivan鈥檚 daily commute has dramatically changed.
A Better Quality of Life
鈥淚鈥檝e been here for nine months now. I moved over in October for this job from London,鈥 she explains.
鈥淚n London, I used to have a commute of about forty minutes, but now I can walk to work. I live ten minutes away, it鈥檚 super convenient, I like that Dublin is much smaller. As a new person coming to the city, it鈥檚 easy to get to know the place and feel like home.鈥
Analysing Trends
Part of the Analytics team at The Dock, Jivan brings a broad perspective to her role. An expert in search analytics from her previous role, she has embraced Machine Learning after completing a Masters in the area.
鈥淢y work here is very technical. I love it. I did a Masters in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, it鈥檚 exactly the area we look at. I work on predictive models and automation services and processes,鈥 she explains.
鈥淭he amount of things you can learn and do with vast amounts of data is incredible, so I really like that,鈥 she adds. 鈥淚 used to work in marketing analytics, so that was less predictive and more based on Google Analytics around the areas of SEO and search marketing 鈥 so this is very different to my former job.鈥
鈥淐omputing power is growing and there are so many companies getting into the data science area, so there is so much interest in it at the moment. And that鈥檚 good because the more interest there is in it, the more interesting conversations people can have about it.鈥
She adds: 鈥淚 think that it can be applied everywhere. There are so many different use cases and in terms of a job, that makes it very versatile.鈥
Exploring Dublin
Just one of a host of talented experts hard at work in the Docklands building, Jivan is content with her new base.
She says: 鈥淚 really like living in Dublin so far, it鈥檚 a really fun city and there鈥檚 lots to do.鈥
鈥淭here are plenty of bars, pubs and restaurants, so you鈥檙e not lost for a thing to do at the weekend or after work.鈥
鈥淓veryone鈥檚 really nice as well, which makes a big difference when you鈥檙e moving to a new place.鈥
鈥淭he tube is a nightmare so I鈥檓 glad to never take the tube again,鈥 she jokes.
