On this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeff Li. Jeff is currently a senior data scientist at Spotify focused on forecasting problems surrounding ads. He got into data science, initially, by trying to earn a living playing poker and previously spent two years at Doordash on the core ML team, working on a wide variety of problems such as improving experimentation power, personalization, supply/demand forecasting and driver pay.
