I have 9 years of professional experience in data science and am currently a Sr. Data Scientist at Optum.

I am proficient with the skills required to build statistical models and improve engagement/retention. I am often improving my main skills: machine learning, product analytics, distributed computing, NLP, cloud computing, and data structures and algorithms.

I follow key fundamentals to ensure my code is simple, fast, and inexpensive to run. I aim to make 1% improvements multiple times a week to add up to a very accurate and generalizable statistical model.

I wrote hundreds of data science articles online and retired the site condensing the knowledge into one book: The Definitive Guide to Data Science

I have many times helped others refactor code to make it over 100 times less computationally inexpensive and improve model accuracies often by 10% to 15%.

I have recently taken 22 online courses over 6 months and have found drastically improved results through using variations of the algorithms that I encounter.

I reach an accurate 200 words per minute using a voice to text Python application I put together using various available libraries available on my GitHub profile.

My Git profile has 200+ private/public repositories: Git Repos
