I'm Jack Doughty.

Focused particularly on data science and analytics, along with data visualization

Picked up the fundamentals of machine learning and wrote a thesis on Optimizing Paths in a Weighted Plane

As a Gaming Data Analyst at Hanson Consulting Group, I specialize in dissecting complex datasets to uncover actionable insights within the PC and console gaming industry. My role encompasses a deep dive into gaming trends and player behaviors, utilizing advanced data analysis techniques to inform strategic decision-making. This dynamic position combines rigorous data management with practical gameplay analysis, positioning me as a key contributor to shaping business intelligence and market strategy for our clients.

I moderate and organize events not only within the competitive community, but the greater community of over 10,000 monthly active players. Much of this involves feedback and polling from the scale of individuals to the whole community at large, and then pitching proposed changes to the CEO directly. I developed models and heuristics to help more analytically decide removal criteria for software. I also serve as a liaison between two diametrically opposed sections of the community, casual and competititve players. I have to settle significant disagreements both small and large, ranging from a frustrated player to threats of DMCA.

I evaluated and helped provide critical feedback for developing software seeking inclusion in the game. Through bugtesting and playtesting, I managed to significantly assist in the creation of 7 tracks to the point of being a named contributor, with hundreds of others also receiving various feedback over my 2 years volunteering here.
