Data Scientist and Technologist

I'm currently a staff researcher at Penn. I was trying to get a PhD but failed to secure offers, so I'm moving to industry. Historically I've been the sole data scientist and technologist on all projects, and as such have had to learn and become proficient in every step of the data science and analysis pipeline. I'm quick to learn, and I love learning how to use new tools, understanding their philosophy and what they're good for (or not good for!) I generally follow the "Data Science at the Command Line" approach to my work, and I like to build web systems for sharing my work from the lower level (d3.js over full-fat systems like observable, tableau, etc).
