My name is Ru Hui. I am a participant of the Trainee Program at MAN Truck & Bus, a program that lasts for 15 months. The company is located in Munich, and is a brand under the TRATON Group, a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG. In this program, trainees are given the opportunity to go on rotations to different departments within the company and other brands within the group. It is a rare opportunity to see how how various departments in and across companies operate the daily business.
Professionally, I’m a data enthusiast with hands-on experience in software development, training machine learning models, and automating the provision of clean, standardized data to meet organizational needs. Currently, I’m focused on learning how to operationalize machine learning models, a topic I’m particularly passionate about. I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges of machine learning models not making it to production or breaking down shortly after deployment due to lack of proper maintenance methodologies. This has driven my deep interest in ensuring models deliver sustainable, long-term value.
Outside of work, I enjoy experimenting with recipes from around the world in my kitchen and reading about personal finance. This website serves as a space for me to document my experiences — from navigating adult life and living abroad to insights from my trainee program and professional journey.
