Michael Clark

I am currently a Senior Machine Learning Scientist for OneSix, where I engage with clients to help them get the most from their data. Throughout my career in data science, I have navigated a vast landscape of modeling, visualizing, and understanding data. I have conducted causal inference for marketing campaigns, classified biomedical images to detect pathology, analyzed text to uncover political sentiment, and explored baboon survival rates based on their social status. My experience spans dozens of industries and academic disciplines, from Fortune 100 companies to top research institutions, helping clients and researchers unlock the full potential of their data with statistical analysis, machine learning, and AI.

Additionally, I have a strong background in teaching, writing, and conducting workshops on these topics, enabling others to gain expertise and become self-sufficient. My book - Models Demystified - offers a comprehensive overview of the statistical and machine learning landscape, along with related topics. It is available as of August 15, 2025.

I enjoy empowering people and helping them discover the secrets hidden within their data, and I am passionate about doing quality work that answers the questions at hand. What drew me to the world of data science - and keeps my interest - is that it frees me to engage in many different domains, and it provides a great many tools with which to discover more about the things we humans are most interested in.
