Welcome! I'm a data scientist at Posit who loves turning messy data into something useful. I build dashboards, predictive models, and pretty much anything that helps people make data-driven decisions.
Before this, I spent a few years in NBA analytics—working with the Knicks, the Pacers, and the HEAT on everything from statistical modeling to building out data warehouses.
When I'm not writing R or Python code, I'm probably spending time outside looking at birds.
