There is an interesting story behind all data. Whether it be sports, education, etc. I'm always looking to find the meaning behind the numbers. Analyze, visualize, and explain what is going on behind the scenes. It's always been a passion of mine to find the unique answers to a puzzle with multiple solutions. Using data I've been able to find those unique answers that many may have overlooked in order to improve business efficiency.
My specialties include using a broad spectrum of software programs , advanced statistics, and an acumen for problem solving to find the answers buried in a company's data. I am currently an analyst at an E-Commerce Company and plan to enter the field of Machine Learning and Data Science.
