Hello world!
Welcome to Proactive Ingredient!
Let me introduce myself. I am Carlos Miranda Durand, the Founder and CEO of the firm. I have 23+ years of professional and leadership experience in technology including 13+ years of experience in data science. I believe data science is absolutely a team sport and have the privilege to have worked with many talented and brilliant people as my clients or leaders, as my collaborators or partners, and as my team members or gems as I’ve learned to see them. I hope the next team that I collaborate with is yours.
Having a consulting business has been a lifelong dream and I am seeking to build one practice that goes above and beyond. Let me share what’s in the company name. Personally I am high-energy, people have described me as conscientious, and my engineering formation has taught me the importance of diligence, anticipation, curiosity, and continuous search for excellence. My vision is to build a team with diverse set of talents but that no matter what we are doing, we will do it with a proactive attitude.
Also fundamental to any big accomplishment that I have seen in this field is a well-functioning and diverse team: people with their own individual strengths and interests collaborating effectively. The effort of the most brilliant data scientist can be wasted when it’s not informed by the voice of the customer and the business context, or understood and adopted by the stakeholders or professionals that would act on the intelligence, or supported by a safety net that would catch an error (yes, even brilliant data scientists can make mistakes, and that’s why we have multiple validation methods in our tool belt.) Data Scientists and their algorithms can have a huge impact for your business, but they are just one ingredient. Our firm will partner with you and your organization to add this awesome ingredient in a way that produces results.
Call me if you want to explore how business intelligence, artificial intelligence, or data science in general may help your company. Looking forward to working with you!
Carlos
