In this episode of The Data Standard, host Darren Kaplan sits down with Tim Eller, the founder, and CEO of dcyd, to talk about his startup. dcyd provides ML model performance monitoring and optimization, with real-time AI diagnostics for optimizing key metrics. With this SaaS solution, you can see your data flowing within five minutes. With just a few lines of code and a click of a button, you can see everything thats going on in your decision-making. You can see the inputs and outputs of your functions and predictions, your KPIs, the decisions for optimizing them, and the models that are aiding in those decisions. Thats the key to solving the accountability issue and taking broader ownership of what data science does. As a data scientist, youre not just using machine learning to build predictive models. Youre actually making decisions based on your predictions. In other words, you deliver decisions guided by your models. If youre an introverted data scientist, Tim Eller has excellent advice for you: instead of focusing on the most beautiful algorithm, think about how youre going to prove to the products team in the C-suite that your decisions actually moved the needle in the right way. Tune in with Darren Kaplan to hear more about Tim Ellers new company, dcyd.
