I guess I should do an #introduction so hello everyone. My name is Dan. I'm a statistician who does Bayesian stuff, computational stuff, Gaussian processes, multilevel models, and really anything else that catches my fancy.

I used to be an academic, which was great fun, but now I'm looking for a job in tech, which should also be great fun.

Will this be as gay and chaotic as my twitter? Who knows!

I'll be around the #stats, #rstats, #stan, and probably other places.

@dan_p_simpson welcome! I never officially went into academia, but did get a PhD. My journey into tech went through industrial engineering R&D.

Very cool to see all the interesting backgrounds of everyone on here!

@mattkram I'm legit so excited about the move. So many interesting problems and fun challenges!
