Hi Steemit,
My name's Jesse and I'm from planet Earth.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of North America

and have been living in Scotland

and Belgium for quite a while now.

I spend my time doing dad and husband stuff
My own photo of my first ever attempt at BBQ brisket -- Texas-style. Turned out amazing!
which includes earning a living as a data scientist

in the financial sector

This means that I get to spend a lot of time with amazing technologies (machine learning, Big Data and all that)

and it also means understanding and solving problems, and establishing positive relationships with a wide variety of interesting people.
Outside of family and work, I like to explore and learn -- be it reading academic papers, books of many species,

the Internet, new urban environments I haven't yet visited, time in nature.

And I love play -- games, sports, imaginative experiences -- you name it.

Beyond data science, I'm pretty knowledgeable in Computing science (got a PhD from the University of Stirling in it -- see publications) and system architecture and engineering -- especially to do with Digital Economy and e-social science topics. But I like to think about and discuss ideas across the board.

Looking forward to connecting with this community!
