Using telematics data analysis to predict future electric charging networks

By Maja Feierabend, Data Scientist 

 

Have you ever heard of a Catch 22 dilemma? It is a situation where the solution to a problem requires another solution which depends on the positive outcome of the first. Sounds too abstract? Imagine you are a truck owner, and you are very eager to change to emission-free vehicles. The solution would be rather simple: just go to the truck dealer and buy an electric truck.

A Software Engineer reimagining legacy systems

By Meghana Rajappa, Professional Software Engineer

 

I was born and raised in Bangalore and first started to get interested in computer science in high school, where I got quite good in Basic C programming. This encouraged me to study computer science in university. My father was very encouraging in this respect. I completed my Bachelor of Engineering in 2016, and began working in a startup as a developer, before getting married and moving to Sweden in 2019.

Making the leap to the tech world, especially with dyslexia, felt audacious, but as I've always believed, challenges are life's way of testing our resilience and passion.
