Learning & Exploring

I am a self-learner, constantly engaging with new topics and areas of interests. For many years now I have been working to learn more about artifician intelligence and it's effects on society, both known and unkown and the ethical concerns that newer machine learning technologies bring to the table.

Generally I am a nerd, and I enjoy learning about nerdy things with other nerds, from philosophy to technology, psychology to religion.

Data Scientist, Trainer, Writer
Freelancer, self-employed

I'm a Marine Corps veteran and data scientist with 20 years of experience in information technologies and networking. For much of my career I was a Technical Operations Specialist serving our special forces, law enforcement and intelligence communities working to deliver signals intelligence products from concept to deployment across multiple wireless communications protocols and technologies. During my time in this position, my roles also included developing, conducting, analyzing, and providing analytic reports to executive management and the larger intelligence community delivering insights from technical experiments in different environments, both in the lab and the field.

Developing and delivering professional hands-on scenario based training to professional warfighters and investigators, I served as an SME for numerous telecommunication technologies, to include but not limited to GSM, GMR1, 802.11, and many other communication technologies.

I also worked closely with our business development teams in my role as SME, facilitating live technical demonstrations and managing technical support for our customers deployed and operating around the globe.

As a writer, I am skilled in communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences. I have been published in online magazines, including Towards Data Science and The Startup, the two largest digital publications on Medium, for my ability to tell stories with data and highlighting insights through data visualization.

I am always looking for new opportunities and relationships to help bring tomorrow's technology to everyone today. If you would like to connect, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at spradlinjk@protonmail.com
