She's pretty cool! She's former math teacher, then PhD in stats, reconverted to scientific computing programmer (CERN, Astronomy Labs...etc), and then eventually moved over to large system / mainframe stuff. She also spent a lot of time writing docs (she wrote some of the Seam API docs!) and has a knack for going deep on technical stuff. Lately she's been translating Aurélien Geron (https://github.com/ageron) Hands-On Machine Learning books into French.

Wow. Your mom is a wizard.

Thanks for the hint, that Geron has books on machine learning. I know him from a YouTube video, where he explains how they use the google knowledge graph for YouTube: https://youtu.be/ywfYMQD6yYk

He explains it so well. Then his books are worth a read.
