Welcome Phillip! +1 to all of what Otto said.
One area where we would like to expand, and your DS skills could be useful, is in some of the analytics use cases. For example, I'm currently working on finishing up a PR for a data sketch function that can estimate top-k results in an infinite streaming data set. We've got functions around things like median absolute deviation, and I wrote a wrapper for a hyper log log plus implementation. It would be awesome to get some contributions to our use cases that leverage some of our existing analytics functions as well as new implementations. Here's a forensic clustering use case, for example - https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/use-cases/forensic_clustering. This is a bit more advanced for someone new to the project, but I'm just sharing opportunities and a roadmap of things that would be extremely beneficial.
