Srikrishna Sridhar - Staff Data Scientist, Dato Inc.

I'm a Data Scientist at Dato Inc. working on scalable, efficient, and easy to use software for data science. I am passionate about software; data; and numerical mathematics. I love creating simple tools to lower the barrier of entry for machine learning applications.

Previously, I was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin working on problems in large scale mathematical optimization, and data analysis. I was very fortunate to be advised by three leading experts in the field of numerical optimization; Stephen J. Wright, Jeff Linderoth and James R. Luedtke. My thesis work involved modeling and solving discrete choice non-linear models for applications like health care, production planning, and machine learning.
