Daniel David Leybzon

Qubole
Associate Product Manager
Mountain View, CA

I'm an undergrad at UCLA studying statistics and political science. This summer I'll be interning under a product manager at Qubole, an exciting data science startup that helps make Hadoop more accessible to the average company.

R is the first language that I encountered which gave me the breadth of tools that I needed. Ever since my Introduction to Programming in R class I've been hooked, and have been using the language to work on personal projects, including the one I'll be presenting about.

When I'm not hunched over my laptop making data visualizations in R, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and reading. I've been to 19 countries so far and I want to visit at least 100 before I turn 40. I'm currently reading Seveneves (Neal Stephenson's newest book).
