About Jason May

Data and Storytelling. Scientific Rigor and Creative Problem Solving. My current experience as a data scientist as well as my previous stint as a screenwriter uniquely qualify me for the seeming contradictions of the Data Science field. I not only find insights but also tell the data\'s story in a manner that compels decision makers. I deliver the right answers but more importantly ask the right questions.
