I'm Taylor and I'm a statistics nerd.

I'm currently working at YouTube as a Staff Research Data Scientist. Prior to that I worked in search ads.

I went to school at Carnegie Mellon where I worked on conditional density estimation. I adapted random forests, neural networks, and nearest neighbors to esitmate conditional densities for applications in multimodal prediction and Approximate Bayesian Computation.

Prior to that I was indoctrinated in Bayesian Statistics at Duke for my undergrad.

In my free time I enjoy the cultural amenities of the Bay Area. I'm also an avid navigation athelete: participating in orienteering and adventure racing.
