Founding Director, YYC Data Society

Ben Reeves

Committed to Calgary's Data Economy.

Ben Reeves is one of the founding directors of the YYC Data Society, the SVP of Data Science and Engineering at Viewpoint Investment Partners, and the principal organizer of PyData Calgary. Like many of Calgary's data leaders, he began his career in the energy space, applying his analytical background in engineering to the world of software and big data. After two years running and optimizing mission critical cloud SCADA systems, he took his talents to the financial industry. He joined the startup investment management company Viewpoint Investment Partners as the technical lead and has since built the engineering and data science infrastructure powering their global asset allocation investment strategies. Through all of this, he has dedicated his evenings and weekends to building a better data economy in Calgary, hoping to empower more people to take their engineering and/or data skills to the tech industry.

What I can help with:

Building production grade data science systems from startup to enterprise scale, applying software best practices to data science processes, time series analysis, financial machine learning, python, and connecting with tech and data leaders in Calgary

Where you can find me and how to connect:

Come to any PyData Calgary or Alberta Python (PyData, PyYYC, EdmontonPy) and connect! I'm always available over LinkedIn as well to schedule an in-person or virtual coffee
