    Freelance writer on interiors, international travel and business. I currently write for several design magazines and websites. I have an MA in Interior Architecture but it turns out I like writing, reading, discussing and analyzing other designs rather than doing my own work. I have always had a more academic approach to design and writing/editing and content creation is more my forte. Before I became an interior designer, I was a senior executive for several Hollywood studios and international media companies creating content for the international market. I am fully knowledgeable about the business of entertainment and can write on most business related topics. Check out my website at nomadflipper.com I have a blog there with writing samples

    With 15+ years writing for dramatic and comedic TV as well as story and 7+ years of leadership and copy consulting for leaders at Google, Deloitte, Apple and more, I've written countless jokes, scripts, monologues, websites, business presentations, newsletters, speeches and brand statements. As a leadership, storytelling and copy consultant for founders, leaders, service providers, products and organizations, I have created, strategized, punched up and edited webpages, presentations, email copy and other storytelling assets. As a writer producer on The Colbert Report, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Community and Madam Secretary (among others), I am practiced in finding humor and heart in any moment. If you need to add pizzaz to a script, deliver a toast or presentation, or make your web copy pop, I can help you articulate what's in your head onto the page, infuse laughter and personality and make your final product sing. My left brain communication abilities are matched by right brain organizational and professional skills. I'm clear about project goals, have distinct and streamlines processes I lead my clients through. I meet agreed upon deadlines and am in regular contact throughout the process.

    Hello! I have eight years of professional experience in data science, data analysis, and academic research. After many years of working as a data scientist, I'm now a Ph.D. student studying Psychology and working with AI and NLP at a top UC school. I'm a high-level, big picture type at home with R&D prototypes, machine learning, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and well-commented code. I work with clients to refine and make precise their problem before building a well-scoped solution that provides value. Having built many novel, R&D prototypes, I also have experience estimating how long and how much work it takes to build successful AI systems. Technical Qualifications: ✓ Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning Algorithms (everything from Neural Networks for classification, or prediction, etc., to custom generative AI applications (like StyleGan2) ✓ Deep learning (TensorFlow, Keras) ✓ Python (Jupyter Notebooks, scripts, etc.) ✓ PostgreSQL (including natural language processing and array extensions) ✓ Python data analytics libraries Ppandas, Scipy, Scikit-learn, Numpy) ✓ Natural Language Processing (e.g., Sentence-Transformers, Spacy, Nltk, Elmo, Bert, Bert-variants, custom phrase-property inference programs I've written, etc.) ✓ Flask, HTML, CSS, Docker, GitHub ✓ Ruby on Rails (e.g., I've built an end-to-end dating application) ✓ R, Lavaan, Structural Equation Modeling ✓ Building friendly user interfaces to data science models (Streamlit) ✓ Deploying data science models to production Non-Technical Qualifications ✓ Ability to learn and evaluate academic literature ✓ I work with teams of international scientific collaborators on multiple research projects ✓ Invited by NSF to apply for a Small Business Innovation Research grant ✓ Nonfiction, technical, and academic writing. (Articles of mine -- regarding data science and other topics -- have been published online. I also have a few empirical papers published in academic journals, too. ) Note that my rate for writing and editing is different than my rate for data science. My experience includes: • Creating, building, and deploying an AI-powered fashion designer based on the StyleGan architectural family. Not only did I train the underlying models, I created novel algorithms to interface with the generative AI and create custom effects, I also designed and built a complex custom user interface per my client's requirements. • Creating and productionizing a system to infer personality development from free response text • Creating a free-response text based personality test • Creating a cross-media recommendation system • Using NLP to analyze ten years worth of cable news transcripts from Fox and MSNBC • Using NLP to analyze 5 million biomedical papers • Creating new NLP tools to infer linguistic properties of words and sentences • Conducting geographic analysis of regional personality variation in the US. (Includes working with Shapefiles and geographic data.) • Creating a system to lightly customize fiction to a reader's preferences • Creating a data processing pipeline for half a million resumes. Some of the NLP tasks involved included entity resolution, ontology creation, data deduplication as well as data enrichment from multiple sources. • Designing & prototyping systems to quantify physical security risk from keycard access data • Designing & prototyping a system to assess and match skiers and snowboarders algorithmically • Analyzing electric-load time-series data for a non-profit advocacy group In addition to extracting quantitative insights from data, I generally help businesses design and implement systems that involve quantifying human behavior. My background is in the intersection of psychology and data science. Please note that I have found that I can best understand a client's needs over the phone, and I will insist on talking things over before commencing work. Reach out if you are interested, if you have any questions about what I can do for you, or if you think I can point you in the right direction!
