Jimmy Jin

You found me. I’m a data scientist who prefers simple, transparent methods. I also enjoy writing production code. Big fan of the t-test, SQL and Spark.

I care a lot about having a positive impact on society and am always on the lookout for opportunities with non-profits or local government agencies. If you know of any interesting openings, please reach out.

• I’m currently at Stripe

• Once upon a time I was a student at UNC-Chapel Hill where I worked on probability and networks with Shankar Bhamidi and Andrew Nobel. Here’s my thesis

Miscellany

Sometimes I come across cute problems that I think about and feel are worth writing up:

• The size of the Codenames word pool (link)

• The distribution of unpecked chicks (link)

• Elchanan Mossel’s dice problem (link)
