Profile Summary

I'm a versatile data scientist with years of experience in data modeling, software development, experimental design (A/B tests), and data analysis. I have a background in theoretical physics where I created models for ultra-cold atoms to explore fundamental quantum mechanics. In the industry, I have developed and deployed production quality software with Python and SQL. For large scale deployment, I have experience with Docker and Kubernetes. The types of models I've built are regularized linear regression models, random forests for data with categorical variables, time series models such as ARIMA and Facebook-Prophet, Baysesian simulations with PyMC, and text clustering with word to vector models which employ neural networks under the hood. I enjoy anything from from simple data filtering to histograms or data transformations. Of course, visualizing data is always fun. To get the full knowledge of data metrics, I firmly believe in reporting statistics with uncertainty intervals. I'm also a physicist with many years of hands on tested laboratory experience along with theoretical modeling. I am skilled with laser systems, optics, electronics, and scientific methodologies. I am accomplished developing experimental processes, physical models and simulations, and data analysis. My practical modeling and computer programming skills are in C++, MatLab, Mathematica, and LabView for coding numerical and Monte Carlo simulations, solutions to non-linear differential equations, and data acquisition/analysis.
