Hi there. My name is Mark and I live in Southern California. I love learning a lot; it's a sort of an obsession. I work for an IBM business partner in presales. My job is to know enough, technically, about IBM's software solutions in order to help qualify, progress, and close opportunities. I love demos and any excuse to write some code.
To answer the questions:
What would make this amazing?
I would love to know more about what people are doing with data science; projects and use cases. I can think of a ton of use cases but I'm curious to know what others are seeing and doing IRL!
How do I use IBM products?
I'm primarily a presales person so the IBM products don't get too much use on my end. I use Eclipse but lately spend more time in Jupyter notebooks in Anaconda. I gave a demo yesterday of the console for IBM Cloud.
Outside of work
I'm an avid photog, nothing serious but just having fun taking great photos. Love to travel the world. I'll pretty much go anywhere. I'm also a bonafide italophile.
Passionate
Great question. I'm passionate about the environment and animal welfare.
Joke
I'll mangle this but goes something like...
3 relational DBs walked into a NoSQL bar. They walked out because they couldn't find any tables.
