I'm Andrew Simonson,
a Data Scientist at Ecolab and a graduate Data
Science student at Rochester Institute of Technology,
having recently completed the Computer Science BS program
(international relations minor) with a focus on probability theory.
I've worked on a variety of projects, from building analytical tools
performing reactive chemical safety to live feed processing for
frantic work environments looking to improve service. I also do
personal experimentation leveraging open source info streams ranging
from human traffic around campus to watershed temperature monitoring.
My philosophy is that if it isn't explainable then you didn't learn
anything. Data without sound methodology is at best meaningless and at
worst counterproductive and costly. That's why I focus on
hypothesis-driven multivariate analysis, bringing logical transparency
and literal deductions back into digital analysis. Rather than letting
heuristics make decisions for the world we think we know, we should be
making discoveries and building new knowledge.
Bring the scientific method to AI.
