SEEKING FREELANCER - Boston/Cambridge, MA
Looking for a data scientist / developer to help in analyzing, and building some visuals around a pretty interesting dataset (65,000+ court cases and their associated data -- judges, parties, attorneys, dockets, etc.). This is early stage, experimental, a bit greenfield, and so far a lot of fun. There's a decent amount of statistical correlation to figure out, and also potential for some textual analysis to be done.
The intent is to eventually convert some of the more interesting analyses into visuals for presentation online.
Dataset currently resides in Postgres and the language of choice is Python (so Pandas, NumPy, NLTK (maybe?),etc.)
I'd prefer someone local (Cambridge) so we can do some work in tandem, but if remote is the only possibility and there's a good case for it, willing to try.
If interested, email me at REDACTED_EMAIL
[EDIT] Fixed email address to a working one
Good luck out there!
