Jeremiah O'Connor Interview

my name is Jeremiah O'Connor I work for my name is Jeremiah O'Connor I work for opendns and I'm a research engineer on opendns and I'm a research engineer on the opendns Lobster of most exciting thing is just meeting of most exciting thing is just meeting new people and kind of we usually speak new people and kind of we usually speak at security conferences because we're a at security conferences because we're a network security company but this is a network security company but this is a cool kind of new field you know just cool kind of new field you know just data science machine learning and just data science machine learning and just think it's cool to meet a lot of new think it's cool to meet a lot of new people and see kind of like a different people and see kind of like a different kind of aspects different presentation kind of aspects different presentation topics and a lot of similar stuff we do topics and a lot of similar stuff we do but just kind of we must've speaking in but just kind of we must've speaking in other kind of like subject geared to other kind of like subject geared to conferences like sick network security yeah I mean I think kind of data has yeah I mean I think kind of data has always been like really cool but always been like really cool but nowadays we just have more computational nowadays we just have more computational power to process it and I think what's power to process it and I think what's really cool about nowadays for just you really cool about nowadays for just you know data in general is that you know know data in general is that you know date is just being generated just date is just being generated just astronomically you know and it's going astronomically you know and it's going to give me get more and more so now we to give me get more and more so now we can I don't even have you know humans to can I don't even have you know humans to kind of like annotate and go through kind of like annotate and go through that data we actually need to use the that data we actually need to use the machines so there's kind of you know machines so there's kind of you know moving from you know the more supervised moving from you know the more supervised you know a paradigm to unsupervised so I you know a paradigm to unsupervised so I think that's really cool oh I just I mean I just wanted them to oh I just I mean I just wanted them to be entertained and it's not not fall be entertained and it's not not fall asleep and you know hopefully just see asleep and you know hopefully just see something cool you know just we something cool you know just we basically use data science to capture I basically use data science to capture I mean you know basically fight cybercrime mean you know basically fight cybercrime on the internet so you know what's on the internet so you know what's cooler than that so just using cooler than that so just using algorithms to take on the bad guys and algorithms to take on the bad guys and you know find you know different kind of you know find you know different kind of anomalies in the internet and you know anomalies in the internet and you know just analyzing the you know the crazy just analyzing the you know the crazy web because we've been doing clear web web because we've been doing clear web and now we've been doing a dark web and now we've been doing a dark web analysis so just a crazy place it's good analysis so just a crazy place it's good so yeah No No you'll kind of shortcuts to just you got you'll kind of shortcuts to just you got to work hard you got to want it that's to work hard you got to want it that's that's what mostly than anything that's what mostly than anything anything in life you gotta work hard and anything in life you gotta work hard and you got to really want it so other than you got to really want it so other than that linear algebra study linear algebra that linear algebra study linear algebra study the algorithms and just kind of study the algorithms and just kind of stay up to date with the most recent stay up to date with the most recent technologies because the industry moves technologies because the industry moves along with that you know apache spark along with that you know apache spark kind of some of the libraries we're kind of some of the libraries we're using gen zoom and l TK for text using gen zoom and l TK for text processing a lot of stuff kind of i processing a lot of stuff kind of i think there's a lot of interesting stuff think there's a lot of interesting stuff too so i find something interested in too so i find something interested in and pursue it build stuff and just have and pursue it build stuff and just have fun yeah
