Sci Fi
I have 6 publications in Nature...'s sci-fi column, Futures. When I grow up, I want to be a real author / screenwriter.

I am currently a senior data scientist at Netflix, California. I was previously Head of Behavioural Insights at Grab, and a data scientist at Uber, and 99.co.
I often get questions about how to get started in Data Science. Here's an ongoing Data Science Q&A.
