I create data-driven products and services for MailChimp.

It's not that hard to generate a crapload of mediocre data these days. And it's not that hard to run a map-reduce job on it to distill that crapload into a steaming pile of summary statistics.

What's hard is to do math right -- to get creative with your data while still maintaining that anal retentive attitude that got you stuck with a math degree in the first place.

I'm a recovering consultant, so I like to split my time between down-in-the-weeds analysis and high-level bullshitting about what products can be built to better serve the customer. If you ever want to shoot the analytics shit with me, just reach out on Twitter.
