I’m a Data Science consultant based in London, UK.
I help companies making sense of their data using Data Science and Machine Learning, and bringing their R&D efforts in production.
I’m an international conference speaker and trainer, an author with Packt Pub, and a co-organiser of the PyData London meet-up and conference series.
Backed by a PhD in Information Retrieval, I specialise in search applications and text analytics applications, and I’ve enjoyed working on a broad range of information management and data science projects.
I’m experienced in the design and implementation of applications including enterprise search, semantic search, vertical search, text summarisation, sentiment analysis, text classification/clustering and recommender systems.
Some of the technologies I use on a regular basis include:
– Python
– NumPy, SciPy, NLTK, gensim, pandas, scikit-learn
– Elasticsearch, Lucene, NoSQL, SQL
I’m happy to discuss opportunities for a technical contracting role as well as strategic consultancy.

Marco,
I’m doing a side project for my personal website, and it involves language processing and semantic orientation, so I found your blog series and am trying to follow along; basically I adapted your twitter analyzer for reddit, and am using it to analyze my own comments, however I’m not sure I’m implementing it correctly…when it comes to co-occurrence, I’m getting useless combos like ((‘unpaused’, ‘whoever’), 1), etc.
I was wondering if you could help me understand it a little better. I can send over my code and everything if you want to look it over or have the time.

Hi Marco,
I was having trouble following along in your “Mastering Social Media Mining with Python”. In chapter 2, when attempting to set my environmental variables in Mac OSX in a bash shell, I set them with:
export TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=
export TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=
export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=
export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=
But when I try to run the next code snippet:
from tweepy import Cursor
from twitter_client import get_twitter_client
if __name__ == ‘__main__’:
client = get_twitter_client()
for status in Cursor(client.home_timeline).items(10):
# Process a single status
print(status.text)
I get the key error:
TWITTER_* environment variables not set
Please help!

Hi David,
with the command:
export VARIABLE=
(with nothing after the symbol “=”) you’re un-setting its value, instead you need to pass the value with:
export VARIABLE=”put-your-value-here”
and you can see if the value is correctly set with the command:
echo $VARIABLE
(of course replace VARIABLE with the four TWITTER_* variables)
In macOS, you can also add the four export commands at the end of your ~/.bash_profile file, so the commands are executed automatically when you open a new shell.
Cheers,
Marco
