About Keir Daniels

I am passionate about combining my interest in finance with data analysis and science. I believe a balance of qualitative and quantitate analysis, science, and finance is critical to improving humanity\'s future. Science creates innovation while finance funds research and development. Data analytics is important to assessing the risk and return that new theories and discoveries will have on our world.
