Kudos to you for acknowledging your error and correcting it. We certainly do need more high IQ (>128) math PhDs with integrity, like yourself. Please do consider pursuing higher math in a full time capacity.

Would love to hear more about your analytics work in League of Legends. Is it fair to say that the "useful" numbers/stats tend to be low-hanging fruit and not particularly interesting / requiring of creativity? I imagine with a fairly dynamic meta-game, you're limited by the data available to you, which can quickly become obsolete.

I'd also imagine any data you can crunch from solo queue games is of limited use in competitive play.

Not exactly "anyone can do this," but the first paragraph in the above link:

"The answer is an emphatic NO. In order to make good and useful contributions to mathematics, one does need to work hard, learn one’s field well, learn other fields and tools, ask questions, talk to other mathematicians, and think about the “big picture”. And yes, a reasonable amount of intelligence, patience, and maturity is also required. But one does not need some sort of magic “genius gene” that spontaneously generates ex nihilo deep insights, unexpected solutions to problems, or other supernatural abilities."

Are there any particularly interesting exposes that you'd recommend? I'm curious to read more about this sort of thing.

As employee #1, presumably you had a say in choosing the tech stack - any particular reason why you chose F#?

Funnily enough, as of this writing, the top ranked google result (at least for me) is this post.
