SEEKING WORK - San Francisco - Remote or Travel
Data - Python - Machine Learning - Human Learning
Software developer with experience in machine learning, statistics, web apps, data mining specific to hardware. Work mainly in python, flask/django, AWS, proficient with frontend technologies, but much more interested in complicated data-intensive stats-heavy find-some-insights work. If I haven't worked with a technology before, I generally figure out how to handle it pretty quickly. I'm also happy to consult with executives/management about leveraging data, being data-fluent, and not burning tons of money chasing vague "big data" dreams and getting nothing out of it.
EXPERIMENTAL: I'm absolutely passionate about self-directed learning, and the way that most companies incentivize their employees getting smarter is, IMO, somewhere between nonexistent and ass-backwards. If somebody wants guidance incentivizing employees to pick up new skills and mental models (whether technical, management, interpersonal) - definitely shoot me an email and let's talk.
Background also includes mechanical/industrial engineering, and managing large industrial projects, I'm very solid at leading/working alongside teams.
