I started coding in Python at the age of 35 while in graduate school (thanks Sowmya). Since then, I have learned the unbridled joy of using R for creating maps and attended a data science bootcamp in Berlin where I completed a projet using web scraping and machine learning (XGBoost, LSTM, and computer vision) to predict the minimum age necessary to read a book.

For a fuller picture of where I’ve been and what I’ve done, please see my portfolio

When I’m not working, I can be found doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), yoga, or reading sci-fi.
