Congratulations to our Senior Data Scientist, Dr. Liuqin Yang, for winning the 2018 Beale-Orchard-Hays Prize, the highest honor in Computational Mathematical Optimization! He's been recognised for his paper and the corresponding software SDPNAL+. SDPNAL+ is a state-of-the-art software designed for large-scale semidefinite programming. This novel technology has been widely used in Grab to increase allocation efficiency, and it can be applied to operations research and machine learning. This is the first time an Asian team wins the Beale-Orchard-Hays Prize. The award is presented once every three years by Mathematical Optimization Society in memory of Martin Beale and William Orchard-Hays, who pioneered computational mathematical optimization. Previous winners include world leading figures in computational optimization such as Professor Stephen P. Boyd and Professor William J. Cook.

Grab promotes a culture of experimentation to improve our app's user experience. That's why we decided to build a unified and scalable platform for experiments known as the Grab Experimentation Platform (ExP). It allows us to run rigourous statistical analyses, and to make sure that new features roll out without any hiccups and that causal relationships are analyzed correctly. Visit the article on Tech in Asia to find out how Grab ExP works! http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vQ10v #Grab #DrivingSEAForward #IntellectualRigour
“Running the same workload on DynamoDB would have cost us more than three times as much as Scylla”, says Aravind Srinivasan, a software engineer at Grab.

This blessed month of Ramadan, over 60 of our Grabbers and driver-partners came together to contribute food items (including some snacks for the upcoming festive season!) and join other community partners to have them delivered to over 300 elderly beneficiaries under the Ramadan-On-Wheels programme led by the Malay Youth Literary Association. We hope our small contribution will go a long way in putting a smile to the beneficiaries ahead of the festive Eid celebrations! Watch a short clip we made on the move to capture these meaningful moments: http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vQ8uU #Grab #DrivingSEAForward #RamadanOnWheels #GivingBack #Eid #GrabFriendsForever
Grab is proud to be a Platinum and after-party sponsor for GopherCon Singapore 2018 – many topics were discussed which brought the Go community from across Southeast Asia together. Hundreds visited our booth and attempted our Go Coding Challenge to win cool limited edition swags, and we had fun knowing so many more passionate coders. Hope our Go friends enjoyed the interactions with us as much as we did! #Grab #DrivingSEAForward #GoGrab18 #GrabFriendsForever #Gophercon #Singapore
