My name is Sean Falconer, I am Head of Marketing and Developer Relations at Skyflow. Prior to Skyflow, I led developer relations for Google’s Business Communications product suite, founded Proven.com and I was a Postdoctoral student in Bioinformatics at Stanford University.
I consider myself a generalist, I’ve been programming and hacking on things since I was a kid. I’ve worked on everything from web, Android and iOS, chatbots, and desktop apps, to applications of data mining, ML and information visualization. While in university, I was a competitive programmer, competing twice in the ICPC World Programming Finals.
In my prior academic life, I published articles on a wide range of subjects including quantum computing, semantic web, computational geometry, string topology, and bioinformatics. I also taught classes at university in Human Computer Interaction, algorithms, and data structures. I love to connect with people to talk about technology, so if you have questions, you’re interested in chatting, or perhaps think my advice might be worth your time, don’t be shy and hit me up.
Contact me here or connect with me online.
I love applying principles of computer science, data mining, machine learning, and statistics to pop culture. I cover most of these side projects in my writings on my website.
