Working Groups to learn deTerminator Hi, fellow deTERMINATORs. My name is Atakan (Kahn is the nick) and I am based in Las Vegas. I grew up in Turkey, where I first went to horse races with my dad as a kid. I've been in the U.S. since mid-90s...first to study than with work. I have been in the software industry in the capacities of Product Manager/Marketing Manager including stints with Big Tech as well as startups. Currently, I'm with a Machine Learning software startup helping enterprises make sense out of their data, e.g., fraud detection.
As a handicapper, I've been mostly betting on big days due to time constraints and had a mixed bag of results but not profitable in aggregate. During the pandemic, I developed my own statistical models on top of Brisnet data and had better success...work in progress. I'm here to improve and better understand the fascinating problem of handicapping, which strikes me as majority science and minority art/luck. If things turn profitable too, I won't be too upset about it! :)
