Do we have any data scientists at GH? Looking for some career advice :D

I'm a visual data 'scientist' and I wrangle/make sense of thousands of packets of visual data, but I don't think that's exactly what you're looking for.

Hmm, yeah, I'm mostly interested in predictive modeling and machine learning. If you work with any folks doing that stuff, maybe you'd be able to help  :)

Machine learning is definitely part of what I do, mostly for honing algorithms so people don't get killed. But on a more base level of front-end radar data.
But it's not a traditional data scientist job due to the nature of the data and relative newness of the technology.
Again, not super sure what your focus is on, data interpretation is a wide and varied field in tech these days.
