About your instructor
Michael Cullan is a data scientist in residence at Pragmatic Institute, where he teaches hands-on courses in data science and business-oriented topics in managing data science initiatives at the organizational level. He also leads internal data science projects in support of marketing and operations teams. He earned a master’s degree in statistics and a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. His academic research areas ranged from computational paleobiology, where he developed software for measuring evidence for disparate evolutionary models based on fossil data, to music and AI, where he assisted in modeling musical data for a jazz improvisation robot. In his free time, he applies his math and programming skills toward creating code-based visual art and design projects.

Hi Rachana,
Attendees will all be given a login for a JupyterHub pod containing lecture and lab notebooks, so you’ll be all set as long as you have an internet connection!
Cheers,
Michael Cullan
Hi Michael,
Are there any notebooks we might have to download before or any laptop configurations needed for a better learning experience.
Thanks,
Rachana Gurrapu
