About Benjamin English

My name is Ben and I have a data addiction. I\'ve spent the last 20+ years of my life feeding this addiction as a Data Scientist, Software Engineer, Analyst and Student ever since I took my first abstract mathematics course at UCLA. I\'m lucky in that my passion coincides with a very vibrant career path which has only furthered my love for everything data.
