About
Alex Brown holds a PhD in machine learning from MIT and spent four years leading data science at Netflix, where a recommendation is worth real money and a bad one is measurable within the hour. Twelve years in, he is less interested in the newest architecture than in whether a model survives contact with production.
He teaches the whole path: framing a question so it can be answered, getting data into a shape you can trust, choosing the simplest model that works, and then the part most courses skip, which is keeping it honest once it is live.
