Matt Mullens
Owner
at Venice Technologies
I have a small consulting agency focused primarily on data science, data engineering, and analytics. We also do some digital marketing and have partnership arrangements for software engineering http://venicetechnologies.co/
I previously had a startup creating pricing software for car dealerships, which we sold in 2019. My original background is econ/finance and have also worked for a fintech startup, and done consulting projects for Credit Karma. Also, I currently own a small business https://lmbksurfhouse.com/ and am in the process of building a new yoga retreat/hotel next door. So domain expertise in automotive, fintech, small/local business.
Overall, a pretty broad skillset, which I believe makes me better at understanding business/product problems better than most data people. I have found this particularly useful for developing initial versions of new ideas where the exact requirements have yet to be defined.
