My name is Dr. Clair Sullivan and I am the Founder and CEO of a freelance data science consulting company, Clair Sullivan and Associates, LLC. You can find my resume, speaker bio, etc. here (as one of my pinned repos). In addition to my work at Vail, I am the former Data Science Advocate at Neo4j. I am a 100% remote worker and have been for several years before COVID-19. I love where I live in the mountains of Colorado and have no interest in moving!
I also have returned to school at the University of Wisconsin to work on my MBA. Degree number 5...very excited!
