About the Author

Andrew Minteer is currently the senior director, data science and research at a leading global retail company. Prior to that, he served as the director, IoT Analytics and Machine Learning at a Fortune 500 manufacturing company.

He has an MBA from Indiana University with a background in statistics, software development, database design, cloud architecture, and has led analytics teams for over 10 years.

He first taught himself to program on an Atari 800 computer at the age of 11 and fondly remembers the frustration of waiting through 20 minutes of beeps and static to load a 100-line program. He now thoroughly enjoys launching a 1 TB GPU-backed cloud instance in a few minutes and getting right to work.

Andrew is a private pilot who looks forward to spending some time in the air sometime soon. He enjoys kayaking, camping, traveling the world, and playing around with his six-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.

I would like to thank my ever-patient wife, Julie, for her constant support and tolerance of so many nights and weekends spent working on this technical book. I also thank her for credibly convincing me that this book was not actually a sleep aid, she was just tired from watching the kids. I also want to thank my energetic little princess-dress-wearing daughter, Olivia, and my intelligent Lego-wielding son, Max, for inspiring me to keep at it. Thank you to my family for your constant support and encouragement, especially my father who I suspect is more excited about this book than I am.

While I am thanking everyone, I want to give a shout-out to all the fantastic people I have worked with over the years, both bosses and colleagues. I have learned far more from them than they have from me. I have been truly lucky to work with such talented people.

Last but not least, I want to thank all my editors and reviewers for their comments and insights in developing this book.

I hope you, the reader, not only learn a lot about analytics for IoT but also enjoy the experience.
