A little bit about me
I live and breathe data science. I am constantly finding connections and similarities between the world of data science and the world around us. I love what I do. The feeling of solving interesting problems is exhilerating to me, and I love seeing the impact of machine learning and advanced analytics to improves society and lives.
In my spare time, I enjoy a variety of hobbies. I am a traveler, a hiker, a reader, a skier, a yogi, a climber, a motorcycle rider... The list goes on and on.
On this website, you will find a variety of resources related to my life. On the left-hand side you can find links to my resume, LinkedIn, Medium, GitHub, and personal email. Below, you will find links to various blog posts and projects that I have published. My interests and hobbies come across in my writings; I write about everything from data science to book reviews to hiking trips.
