What is Metrocosm?
Metrocosm data the matrix
Data The Matrix is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go to church… when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled from a spreadsheet over your eyesto show you blind you from the truth.
What is Metrocosm?
Metrocosm is a collection of projects that analyze life through statistics and data.
Who am I?
I’m Max Galka, a guy who is fascinated by data.
My latest project, FOIA Mapper, aims to open up “hidden” government databases using the Freedom of Information Act. I also cofounded a real estate data business called Revaluate.
Prior to that, I have at different points in my career used data to model natural disasters, mortgage prepayments, and human life expectancy.
I also enjoy working on data-related projects outside of work. My fantasy football models rarely work out very well, but the Texas Hold-em program I built in college is one of the things I am most proud of.
I am also a very happily-married husband, an aspiring vegetarian, a feminist, an information privacy paranoid, a Huffington Post contributor, and a proud New Yorker.
