Ep - 4 - Am I data-driven enough? feat. Dave Millican (CTO and Co-Founder of Skiller Whale)

In this episode, Hywel and Dave discuss everything data - why pure data is not always as it seems, why modeling data will not always make your predictions more accurate, and why data is contextual. They discuss examples from Sony, Ferrari, and Netflix and share anecdotes of how they learned that quantitative data is not relevant without qualitative data. 

Together with Hywel, Dave Millican is the Co-Founder and CTO at Skiller Whale. He has managed data science teams and projects since 2012, including developing data-driven race simulation tools for the Ferrari F1 team and as the Lead Data Scientist for BridgeU. 

Hywel Carver is the Co-Founder and CEO of Skiller Whale, a SaaS company enabling development for developers. Hywel was a CTO for a variety of VC-backed companies for over 10 years, ran Tech Leader Dinners, and coached other CTOs. He’s a published curriculum author and avid blogger. 

Dave, Hywel, and Hayley created Skiller Whale out of the frustration that learning for developers is broken; Learn more about the company and sign-up for a free trial here.
