John Ries's Linkedin Analytics

I am a statistical programmer and analyst with many years of experience. I have worked on numerous data science projects, and have a thorough knowledge of all stages of the process including data examination and preparation; model development, report generation, and model deployment. My specialties include data preparation, model deployment, and automated code generation ("programs that write programs"). I am an ace SAS programmer skilled in the data step, macro processor, and base procedures. I am the world's leading authority on use of the non-GUI version of Salford Predictive Miner (SPM) and am a skilled Perl and shell scripter. I believe strongly in taking the time to write clean, elegant code as it tends to save time in the long run.
