Donald Start

Data scientist with extensive programming and mathematical education background and diverse career experience. Over the past several years Ive tackled data-driven challenges in numerous contexts, from image processing to survey insights to member data to industry quality. I adapt to and use multiple software programs and tools for the gathering, governance, exploration, analysis, modeling, and presentation of data to stakeholders, and maintain data hygiene with an eye towards longevity in data usability. I can draw on my software experiences to bring new or expanded implementations to the attention of company leadership for process improvement. As data management improves and the role of analytics grows in an organization, I look to advance the analytical context from descriptive and diagnostic insights to predictive and prescriptive insights, to keep clients ahead and give them room for new opportunities and growth. Im always searching for new skills to add to my repertoire, and look forward to connecting with any like-minded professionals who want to network or anyone looking for data analytics insight. Currently self-learning JavaScript, Python, and PHP, among others.
