Franklin Sarkett is a data scientist and entrepreneur. He holds a BS in Computer Science (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), and an MS in Applied Statistics (DePaul University).

He spent 10 years on Chicago’s LaSalle Street, working as a financial engineer in the futures and options market trenches at Infinium. From a handful of traders and tech types, it grew to some 250.
