Hello, I am a senior data scientist from Ireland. I recently finished my PhD in Computer Science and I am hoping to teach classes that I would have liked to have had while I was a student. My research and teaching experience is in machine learning and data science. I also have experience working with distributed systems and now work in industry for a large tech company.
