Kyle Payne is a Senior Data Scientist at YouTube at Google. He possess expertise in r, microsoft excel, statistical modeling, data analysis, powerpoint and 26 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "While sitting next me during our State Farm internship, Kyle taught me real analysis and measure theory. Few students in our program ever push themselves this far; our graduate program focused primarily on applied topics, like the mechanics of data analysis. Fewer take the initiative to share that passion with others. But Kyle did. Over the span of several weeks, Kyle explained how Riemann integrals led to the ideas of Lebesgue. He walked me through the definition of a measure, and he even took the time to make sure I saw how all of this eventually led back to our work in probability and statistics. I know that this was especially challenging material to try and learn, and I understand that it wasn't necessarily easy to break away from work to spend this much time discussing fundamental Math. For that, I'll always be grateful. Kyle cares deeply about very difficult ideas. He has the curiosity and ambition to tackle problems from a variety of perspectives, and he has the determination to follow ideas to their conclusion. He doesn't shy away from a challenge, and he welcomes the opportunity to push himself far past limits set by his peers. He's a generalist and excels in a variety of research settings. And most of all, he's a good friend that always quick to laugh. I'm certain that Kyle has a bright research career ahead of him, either in industry or academia. And I'm jealous of all the people that will get to work with him in the future. I'm sure they'll love the experience."
