Timothy Dobbins is a recent Chattanooga transplant from Nashville working as a principal data scientist in the healthtech space. With 9 years experience across software engineering, data engineering, and data science, he's seen first-hand how data pipelines can either make or break a data science team—or even a data organization. When not building data pipelines or machine learning models, he's hiking the mountains in search of a good swimming hole with his two sons and wife.
