Is our machines learning?
Over the last two decades, the machine learning community has made amazing progress. Computers can recognize speech, diagnose cancer, and drive cars. Computers can do things that we could barely imagine years ago. So why aren’t there more products that use machine learning? Why do we need machine learning PhDs to train successful models? Why is building software powered by machine learning so hard? I think about these questions, search for answers, and in the process, end up building software that makes it easier for more people to use machine learning.

Introduction to Data Science
September 1, 2013 – Present
This course serves as an introduction to the interdisciplinary and emerging field of data science. Students will learn to combine tools and techniques from statistics, computer science, data visualization and the social sciences to solve problems using data. Central threads include: (1) the data science process from data collection to product, (2) tools for working with both big and small datasets, (3) statistical modeling and machine learning, and (4) real world topics and case studies. The course consists of: (1) core lectures by the instructors, (2) guest lectures from data scientists who are experts in their fields, and (3) a course-long project. Topics and tools will include data wrangling and munging, machine learning algorithms, statistical models, data visualization, data journalism, R, ethics, MapReduce, and data pipelines.
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's diverse experience across academia and industry, including leading innovative teams at major tech companies, suggests a strong cultural fit for roles requiring innovation, leadership, and a blend of research and product development. Their academic background and early research in self-driving cars align well with a Computer Vision role. The entrepreneurial stint, though brief, also indicates a proactive and adaptable mindset. The project descriptions, while limited, show an interest in interdisciplinary problem-solving.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership, initiative, and a user-centric approach to technology development. Their experience in teaching and leading teams suggests excellent communication and collaboration skills. The focus on understanding user workflows and building tools to ease their jobs indicates a problem-solving and empathetic operational fit. However, without specific psychometric test results, a detailed assessment of stress handling or team collaboration beyond what's inferred from leadership roles is not possible.
