About

I am originally from the Bay Area in California, and recently graduated with a B.S in Statistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have always had a passion for the sciences. The whole process from formulating a hypothesis to collecting data, and finally presenting my results is a streamlined strategy for discovery that I have grown to love. The possibility of making discoveries drives me to work hard at everything I do, and that is how I found a passion for data science. Data is powerful, but harnessing it is not easy, and throughout my career at the University of Illinois I learned many tools and practices to make this easier. Some of the applications of data centric projects are displayed here on my website, and they go to show how impactful data can be.

Aside from academic and career pursuits, I have a lot of hobbies that I enjoy. I have always loved gaming, and have played through the entire Halo and COD series. Recently, I have gotten into building PC’s and learning about them at a lower level. I am also a pretty active person, I like to swim, play basketball, and lift weights whenever I have the time. Playing the drums is also something I enjoy doing in my free time. I played percussion throughout band in school, and played the drum set in my off time.

Thats a little bit about me, have a look around my website for what I am working on currently, and for links to my other online profiles.
