Currently a data scientist at Rackspace, I have over 10 years experience in data science and behavioral research. I earned my PhD in Cognitive Psychology, with a focus on learning and reasoning. I’m a “full stack” researcher, used to taking projects from conception, through stakeholder alignment, planning, execution, analysis, and sharing. My favorite part of the job is connecting big ideas to rigorous statistical models and distilling the results into a sound bite or a beautiful image. I crave opportunities to make things better and do things right.

On the technical end, I'm a huge advocate and 10 year veteran user of R, with some Python on the side. My strong suits are GLM, Bayesian inference, multivariate stats, and various machine learning techniques (e.g., decision trees, clustering, neural nets, NLP). Truth be told, I love data. Pretty much any data.
