After twenty years of financial operations, including a decade in the back-office of a top hedge fund, I eventually accepted that I'm a bit backwards for my desire not to jump straight to a pivot table when encountering a new data set. Like a farmer reaching down to touch the soil, my first step is exploring the rows and columns with little tests here and there to find weaknesses within the information at hand rather than paving over them with instantly flawed reporting.
Anyway, for all the big data scientists out there too sexy to clean up their own data, I'm looking for work and don't mind pushing a broom. Check my profile for more info.
