Meet the Team

Carly Taylor, Founder

I'm a data scientist, computational chemist, and lifelong gamer. With an M.S. in chemistry from the University of Colorado, specializing in computational quantum dynamics, I've authored multiple peer-reviewed publications and hold two non-provisional machine learning patents.

When I'm not writing about myself in the third person, building mechanical keyboards, or neglecting the Oxford comma, I work as a security strategist for Call of Duty at Activision Publishing.

As a content creator, I write for my 100k followers on LinkedIn, sharing insights on data science and breaking into the gaming industry. As the founder of Rebel Data Science, I strive to bring a refreshingly authentic approach to AI education, making it more accessible for both individuals and brands. My ultimate aim is to create opportunities for women and non-binary individuals to find fulfilling careers in the field of data.
