👋 Hi, I'm Blake Abbenante (@gottalottasoul)

Director of Analytics & Data Science at Suffolk
Boston, MA

👨‍💻 About Me

With nearly two decades in the data space, I’ve explored everything from data modeling and analysis to product management and data science leadership. I’m passionate about delivering high-value, low-friction analytics and AI/ML solutions, especially by leveraging:

  • R & Python for data science, ML, and analytics
  • Posit’s suite of tools (RStudio, Shiny, etc.)
  • Databricks as a modern data platform

I’m especially interested in the evolving landscape of data-as-a-service vs. data-as-a-product, and how design thinking can be used in data product design to deliver solutions stakeholders actually love.

🚀 Featured Projects

Most of my interesting work lives in private repositories, but there are some (somewhat outdated but mildly interesting) public projects:

(Check them out for a taste of past explorations!)
