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.
I also have a blog over at https://dansblog.netlify.app that covers things like Bayesian stats, Gaussian Processes, sparse matrices, prior distributions, and other such things in levels of detail that range from "moderately accessible" to "Open up the kennels, Kenneth. Mamma's comin' home tonight".
Just in case you're into that sort of thing.
@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!
@dan_p_simpson “will this be as gay and chaotic as my Twitter?”
