About David
I'm a freelance data scientist, consultant, and educator with an MSc. in Data Science and a background in software and web development. I'm a generalist; my previous roles have been a range of data science, software development, and software architecting jobs.
Things I also do:
- I co-host the Half Stack Data Science podcast where we talk about the realities of data science in the business world
- I've written various articles and tutorials about data science
- I've given a selection of talks at large conferences and universities, all on similar topics of "real world data science"
- I occasionally stream some data science over on Twitch, where I take a vague project idea, a dataset, and try to come up with an answer in about an hour, explaining the code and thought process as I go.
