Blake McMeekin's Linkedin Analytics

Hello! My name is Blake and I am a Data Scientist. I started my career managing prototyping labs in small businesses, developing products using 3D printers and lasers. Later I started a company developing simulations of nature to generate unique things (like lighting and jewelry) at scale. I've always kept an eye on Data Science and Machine Learning, but I decided to get serious after watching the development of systems like GPT, DALL-E, and AlphaFold, listening to lectures by researchers like Jürgen Schmidhuber and Demis Hassabis, and reading a textbook about the Science of Science. It started to feel pretty clear that the industry is just getting started, already changing how science is done and how organizations and people solve problems. Shortly after, I graduated from the Data Science bootcamp through Flatiron. I am a deeply curious person at heart. I love to learn what reality is, how everything fits together, and to share that curiosity with others. I love to read about how organizations work and relate to dynamics in nature, most of my favorite writing on this comes from researchers at SFI, Barabasi Lab, and NECSI. I tend to work best in curious, highly-motivated environments with teams who believe in what they do and take pride in their work. In the future I'd love to use Data to accelerate R&D and improve the way we make decisions. I love meeting new people, so feel free to reach out to tell me what you’re working on, ask questions, or just to make a friend.
