My education was focused on the earth sciences (geophysics, carbonate geology) and computer science (data analytics); and previous work experience was geared toward data science and plug-in development for the energy industry. Technical skills: Python (10 years) and R (4 years), with 2 years' experience building data science products using Hadoop and its associated dongles (especially Spark). When I'm not sitting in front of glowing rectangular screens at work, I absolutely adore hiking / kayaking / mountain-biking around Texas' glorious Green Belt; resuscitating Apples; and (poorly!) attempting to play bass guitar. Personal passions are sustainable energy and climate change research; STEM education reform; and empowering local governments via data science https://twitter.com/DynamicWebPaige

ABSTRACT

You have data. You have questions. You have computers. Now what? Building data science teams, whether from scratch or from existing resources, can be like a choose-your-own-adventure game.


In this talk, we will lay out a framework for making strategic and tactical decisions when growing data science organizations, including how to better communicate risk and resource cost to business leaders. We will review how to evaluate different organizational methodologies and team structures based on your data objectives and potential for growth. Finally, we will walk through modern data architecture patterns to reduce your team's daily friction and generally make everyone happier.
