:Data Wrangling

The Site

This blog will cover some of the technical areas I’m interested in such as machine learning, data mining, and predictive modeling. I’m also hoping to contribute to the Python and Ruby communities by posting tutorials on various topics, along with useful hacks and code snippets. I will probably also post my thoughts on recent machine learning papers or links I find interesting. All code examples and snippets on the site are released under a BSD license similar to SciPy, so you can freely use them in open source or proprietary software.

Pete Skomoroch

Director of Advanced Analytics at Juice and live in the Washington, DC area. I’m also a consultant for various machine learning, finance, and information retrieval related projects which come my way.

Before relocating to DC in 2006, I was a member of the Biodefense Systems group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory where my work spanned several areas including machine learning algorithms, monte carlo simulations, wireless sensor networks, and web based decision support systems. Prior to joining the lab, I worked for several years at a Cambridge startup called Profitlogic (acquired by Oracle), where I constructed predictive models and software for retail revenue optimization. I was also a database consultant at Fidelity Investments focusing on Oracle and Java. Graduated from Brandeis University with a double major in mathematics and physics, and have done some non-degree graduate coursework in machine learning and neural networks at MIT. I have research experience in physics, biology, and computer science.
