About Samuel Lentz

People who run ball clubs, they think in terms of buying players. Your goal shouldn’t be to buy players; your goal should be to buy wins. And in order to buy wins, you need to buy runs. …Baseball thinking is medieval. They are asking all the wrong questions.” (Peter Brand, Moneyball) I help employers make better decisions by leveraging data science and data engineering to find those signals in the noise. Graduating with an advanced degree in Statistics and certified as a DASCA Senior Data Scientist, I have spent the past several years creating value from data whether that be formal decision insights, machine learning models, or building out data pipelines.I believe that high-quality analytics begins with asking the right question, that simple is better than complicated, and that data infrastructure and deployment matter just as much as the model itself.Focus: • Data Pipelines and Data Warehousing.• Data Engineering and Analytical Engineering• Machine Learning, AI, Advanced StatisticsProgramming / Systems:• Python, R, SQL• Snowflake, Oracle• AWS• UNIX
