Hi, I’m Connor! I’m from Carlsbad, CA and am a data scientist.
I started my journey into data science from the world of television news production after I had the realization that audience viewing habits impact TV coverage in a huge way. Ever since I started working on the research and data science side of the industry (rather than production), I have developed a greater appreciation for and fascination in the media landscape as a whole.
My largest projects to date have involved forecasting the average audience of a cable network’s programming - weeks to years ahead of time - all to be able to help decide whether special events are worth broadcasting, to sell advertisements ahead of time, and to help set the network’s overall budget. All of these facets of forecasting involve handling anomalous viewership, accounting for upcoming elections and varying political climates, monitoring the integrity of 3rd party data, and many other factors.
When not performing data dives, you can often find me at the beach, playing and coaching water polo, or even reenacting the American Civil War.
