I am more of a self taught technical hustler. I prefer to work in Clojure, but I am dangerous in Python, Javascript, and SAS. I am also data scientist, 7 years in with experience running the gamut. In my journey I have done NLP, predictive model building, fraud detection, realtime bidding, geo spacial analysis, and so much ETL.

Currently, I am lead data scientist at a startup, and I enjoy taking on a lot of side projects on top of that.

What interests me in data science is the ability to exercise my curiosity muscle. My data science journey can be traced back to a book I read in high school: "How to Lie with Statistics", and one early on in my career: "The Black Swan". Each was an eye opening experience that only propelled me further down the rabbit hole.

I am on this site is because I believe a community is only as strong as the voices holding it up, so if my experience can help others I am more then willing to share.
