About Me Projects

My Expertise

Hacking. Mapping. Doing my part.

Data Nerd

I'm a data nerd! I started out studying insurance mathematics and economics but became enthralled to the dynamic world of big data, statistics, and machine learning. I have solid experience in R, Python/Pandas, GIS, and many flavors of databases.

Developer

I enjoy coding and building systems from backend scripting to web development. My design and coding philosophy is to find the simplest solution and be Agile in implementation.

Doer/Leader

I'm usually doing too much. In my spare time I'm Co-Captain of Code for San Jose, a space for the civic tech community to meet and innovate. I'm also passionate about OpenStreetMap.
