"I am a Data Scientist, Software Developer, Big Data Architect and Entrepreneur."


Background
I lead the Big Data team at SendGrid. I've worked as a "Data Scientist" or related role for about 4 years, but have been
"doing Data Science" for at least a decade including my PhD work. This is the third time I've built a "big data" team in
my career, once for my own startup, then at a national lab, now at SendGrid.

I spent a decade in college resulting in a PhD, 30 publications, 300 citations and a few research grants and awards.
