ABOUT
After graduating with a B.S. in applied mathematics and over 30 credits of philosophy courses, I passed two actuarial exams and looked down the road to becoming an actuary. Something about that life decision didn’t fully resonate with me so I took a break from my career-driven mindset to teach mathematics for ages 12 and up. I finished up my teaching career as a statistics teacher at a community college, and it was around that time that I discovered data science. I took an 11-month online certificate program in 2016, started applying for jobs, and then started a master’s in applied statistics/data science. Since beginning my pursuit of a data science career, I’ve garnered nearly 6 years of experience piloting machine learning solutions at a multi-billion dollar corporation and other companies as well as completed my master’s in applied statistics. I’ve also mentored at a data science and analytics bootcamp called Thinkful, have taught data science at multiple universities (including Cornell University), and have been helping small businesses out with their data science. Outside of my constant career pursuits, I reside in Fort Collins, Colorado with my wife and two kids (ages 6 and 8).

WHY DATA SCIENCE?
Data Science leads to a deeper understanding of the health of your business as well as the pain points. Data science also can streamline processes and make valuable use of data you’re already collecting. At Dive Data, we provide deep level insight into KPI’s, patterns in products, which areas of the business can use improvement, and the growth of the company over time.
Data science is the art and science of working with data. This can involve some aspects of database design and construction, but generally begins at the stage of manipulating datasets and connecting to data sources with R, SQL, or Python. This complicated breaking apart, combining, and manipulation of data itself is often called “data mining”. Once the data is in a useable format, the doors are open for data science application.
AFTER CLEANING DATA, I PERFORM AD-HOC ANALYSES ON ASPECTS OF A BUSINESS IN ORDER TO FIND WEAK POINTS IN CERTAIN PROCESSES AND ALSO TO IDENTIFY WHICH ASPECTS ARE HUMMING ALONG AS WELL.
IN MARKETING, I OFTEN ANALYZE MARKETING CAMPAIGNS TO DETERMINE WHETHER WE ARE SHIFTING OUR CUSTOMERS PURCHASING BEHAVIORS IN THE INTENDED WAY. THROUGH THE NUMBERS WE CAN DELVE INTO THE PSYCHE OF OUR CUSTOMERS.
ALONG WITH AD-HOC ANALYSES DATA CAN BE PLUGGED INTO MODELS. STATISTICAL MODELS TAKE IN MULTIPLE FEATURES AND MAKE PREDICTIONS ON FUTURE BEHAVIOR. IN MARKETING, THIS INVOLVES TAKING IN CUSTOMER SIZE AND PURCHASE BEHAVIOR AND PREDICTING WHETHER THAT CUSTOMER WILL BUY A SPECIFIC TARGET PRODUCT.
JUST THINK OF WHAT YOU COULD DO FOR YOUR BUSINESS IF YOU COULD PREDICT AN OUTCOME WITH OVER 90% ACCURACY…
