I am an experienced Data Scientist and Data Science Manager. I'm interested in hearing about Data Science and management opportunities.In my previous role, I was a Product Science Manager (R&D Data Scientist) at Indeed. I led a machine learning initiatives around fraud detection, company-wide revenue forecasting, code review automation, and post hire analytics. I managed mixed teams of engineers, data scientists, and analysts.Prior to that, I worked at Civitas Learning, where I led the R&D efforts for data science applications for higher education institutions. In my academic career, I conducted supercomputer simulations in the field of computational astrophysics. At Civitas, I managed the data science product research and development team. I led the innovation and development of our Illume Courses product, and our resulting research was featured in the New York Times: http://nyti.ms/2jYV4tX , and spearheaded the redesign of our flagship Illume Students product.In addition, I worked closely with the teams that managed our production machine learning models to ensure data quality, model accuracy, and positive customer experiences through powerful insights. I worked predominantly with Python and SQL. My focus was building functional product prototypes, coordinating with user testing and education teams, and collaborating with the product and UX to test and prove out product ideas quickly.From my astronomy background, I have experience in code development for large-scale simulations of astronomical phenomena, analysis of TB+ sized data sets, parallel and serial algorithmic optimization, executing simulations across over 1000 distributed processors, and teaching. This work was conducted using C, C++, Fortran 90, Python, and IDL.My coursework includes undergraduate and graduate coursework involving C, C++, Java, Python, Fortran, IDL, ML, Assembly, Mathematica, LabVIEW, and MATLAB. Coursera Data Science and Machine Learning coursework with hands-on experience with SQL and Pandas.
