Looking for needles in the haystack
“TORTURE THE DATA, AND IT WILL CONFESS TO ANYTHING.”
Welcome to my analytics blog. This is a collection of blog posts and personal projects on datasets that pique my interest and a way for me to explore a passion for telling stories backed by data. Feel free to comment or shoot me a message, there's always so much more to be learned when knowledge is shared!
ABOUT ME
Intellectually Restless
Self-disciplined, motivated and passionate, I approach everything new with a sense of wonder. Nothing is worse than a stagnant mind and body; I am always pursuing an interest or hobby to continue bettering myself every day.
Currently a Software Applications Architect at Workday Student revolutionizing Student Information Systems and, more specifically, Student Financial Services. I like to dabble in analytics in my spare time to tell stories with data.
In what remains of my spare time, I love fitness, lifting, rock climbing, cooking and hiking!
