Title: I work for a small regional shipping company, mostly building CRUD apps and doing EDI integrations. I&#x27;d like to find a practical side project using machine learning and&#x2F;or data science that could add value at work, but for the life of me I can&#x27;t come up with any problems that I couldn&#x27;t solve with a relational database (postgres) and a data transformation step. I&#x27;ve spent some time learning pytorch, numpy, and pandas but I know that if I don&#x27;t use it, especially at work, I&#x27;ll just forget everything I&#x27;ve learned. My boss is a dev and is generally supportive of learning new things and finding ways to innovate independently, so if I can come up with a good idea I&#x27;m sure he&#x27;ll let me pursue it in my spare time. Has anyone tried to do this before? Any suggestions would be great.
