I entered my first dev job given simple instructions: use my scientific background to improve a classification model. The problem focused on location data - turning phone signals into consumer behavior. Ours was a 4-member team in a 75-person engineering department: a couple software engineers, a systems engineer, and myself as a cross-over data scientist....
Galvanize artcle about me from a year ago I remember doing this, but I never saw the article until today. The headline is pretty out-there, but I appreciate the bio nonetheless....
Smaker Workflow Helper Motivation My second project at Factual involved re-evaluating our team’s workflow automation software. The existing system used Drake to run our pre-processing, training and evalutation scripts.

I have been using Teach Yourself CS as a self-study reference from the makers of the Lambda School. The page transparently summarizes its goals and intended users (i.e. bootcamp grads), and it has been extremely helpful suggesting a general framework for studying....
I spent some time working with graph recurrent neural networks at WashU. One of the key motivations of the project was to design a system that played to a graph’s strengths, rather reusing models designed for different applications. As a lab engineer, I did not own any of the science, so I did not spend the bulk of my time trying to understand the literature or design careful experiements....
