Eli Zarrindast
Mathematician & Data Scientist
Based in both SF and NYC, I love bringing math and tech to anyone who wants to learn. I did my BA & MA in mathematics, but left my PhD to pursue data science.
My first language was R, but I now work overwhelmingly in Python-- currently independent contracting for a natural language processing (NLP) company that scrapes social media to analyze public response to current events (they're still in “stealth mode”).
I've also been teaching, tutoring & mentoring for over 10 years, often where people have been shut out of STEM by systemic / external obstacles (e.g. high schoolers on Native reservations, disabled adults, incarcerated persons-- I can't stand to see that talent going to waste).
My personal jam is mapping informal and/or covert social networks, in particular global & domestic terrorist networks (you can take a look at some of that at zarrindast.com if you like). Peace!
