Richard is a data scientist from the Greater Detroit Area. He started off his data science journey when he was in graduate school by landing consulting gigs through his network. Since then he has had several roles in small, mid-sized, and large firms in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. He started a YouTube channel last year for a couple reasons. The first reason is out of a passion for teaching and motivating others. But the main reason he started the channel is to bring a candid perspective to people who are breaking into the field - to cut through the hype and provide no-nonsense takes on the field and its future, as well as practical tutorials on statistics and programming, with emphasis on how they are used in practical settings.
