About Me
- I'm seeking a data science or analytics role, especially with teams that I can grow with, learn from, and be challenged by.
- I enjoy blending statistical analysis with machine learning and optimization techniques to justify decision making and improve business operations.
- I'm an architect who can see through all phases of a data project: business case, data acquisition, data preparation, modeling, evaluation, explanation, and optimization.
Interests
Data Wranglin'
Data wranglers are the cowboys of the internet. We ride our office chairs onto the digital plains and use whatever tools we have at our side to source, aggregate, normalize, and featurize our data. We love capturing wild data, cleaning it up, and using it to train our models because we’re on a frontier that’s ripe for learning and exploration!
Predictive Analytics
Building predictive models stimulates me because it requires ingenuity and craftsmanship to connect analytical frameworks to business-driven needs. I get a rush from learning new knowledge mining techniques, and the discovery of unexpected outcomes carries a feeling of magic that too few people get to experience.
Artificial Intelligence
Buzz buzz!
Hear that? ...yep, it’s a buzzword.
AI is a hot topic right now, but justifiably so. It has the potential to automate and accelerate intelligent decision making, giving humanity an opportunity to rediscover and redefine itself through the creation of new humanlike technologies.
