Welcome to my Data Science Portfolio

I’ve always been curious about how things work and how data can uncover patterns beneath the surface. Early on, I was drawn to the technical side of business, which led me to focus on Information Systems coupled with a Statistics minor, where I learned how to turn raw numbers into meaningful insights.

Over time, I’ve realized that data science isn’t just about having the best model or the most efficient code. But it’s about connecting business strategy with real-world applications to create a new, innovative solution.

As I dove deeper into the world of analytics, I honed my technical skills in Python, R, and SQL, but more importantly, found my passion for making sense of the vast amounts of information businesses generate. Through Cal Poly’s Master’s Program in Business Analytics, I had the chance to apply these skills across diverse domains, from marketing and people analytics, to finance and healthcare; each offering a new puzzle to solve, and reminding me why I love working with data.
