OPERATOR // NATE, FOUNDER ● 20 YRS GROUND-TRUTH DISCIPLINE SEQ 0x4B
ABOUT

Twenty years of finding out what's actually true.

In data, in research, in operations — I find the ground truth and say it plainly, whether or not it's what anyone hoped to hear. That's the entire value on offer here.

Most of what goes wrong in an organization goes wrong because someone mistook a signal for the truth beneath it — a dashboard that looks healthy, a study that reads as rigorous, a process everyone agrees is fine. Getting past the signal to what's actually there is the discipline I've spent two decades building. It starts before the first handshake, and it doesn't stop for comfort.

THE RECORD

The record.

01Twenty years in data analytics, data architecture, and data engineering.
02Practicing what's now called "data science" since before it had the name.
03A master's degree in applied statistics.
04A Six Sigma Black Belt.
05A decade spent across the table from PhDs, showing them — in excruciating detail — where their research and results had failed, so those failures didn't reach a journal with their name attached.
ON WORKING WITH ME
— NATE,
FOUNDER
I'm not unfriendly, and I'm not hard to work with. But my friendliness is beside the point. You're not hiring me for rapport — you're hiring me because I can tell the difference between a result that holds and one that only looks like it does, and because I'll tell you which one you have.

If that's the kind of help you're after, get in touch.
