Craig Swanson

Cargill
Data Lead
Data and analytics is my job. Sports are my hobby. Unfortunately the only chance I really get to marry the two is when I'm using my favorite baseball data sets to apply to learning a new toolset or technology. I'm excited to attend SportCon to learn a lot more about the practical application of data in sports.
