About Me

Whatever content brought you to my site, here's a little more about me:

• I "caught the bug" in a political science quantitative methods course in college, where I was introduced to using R for basic statistical inference, linear and logistic regressions, etc. I thought it felt like a superpower to be able to work with data and statistics that directly
• I'm passionate about using R and Observable JS to explore datasets and share insightful data products with web technologies like Shiny
• I love building tools to make data more broadly available and accessible (including some of my R packages.
• Laravel has become my go-to weapon for large-scale apps and sites.
• I'm a lifelong motorsports fan, and I maintain a lot of open-source software to make it easier for F1 fans to import and analyze data pertaining to that championship in multiple languages
• BS Political Science '17, Clemson University
• I currently live in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire, a little bit north of Concord.
• Hobbies/interests:
  • Skiing
  • Hiking
  • Poker
  • flight simulation
• I was the 2020 iRacing Dirt Limited Late Model Season 3 Division 4 champion

I love skiing! My site also has a page of forecasts and snow report links for my favorite mountains

Tech Stacks

Data Science

• R and Tidyverse
• H2o.ai open-source: JVM auto-ml, gradient boosting, and neural networks for R and Python
• Keras/Tensorflow: neural networks
• Observable JS notebooks and D3 for custom visualizations

R and Tidyverse allow me to efficiently handle data wrangling, analysis, and visualization with an end-to-end workflow that hooks into a vast ecosystem of advanced tools for statistics and machine learning. This means I can rapidly unlock value in data by uncovering and presenting insights that help businesses make smarter, data-driven decisions.

Web

• PHP + Laravel + PostgreSQL + Livewire + Tailwind
• Statamic CMS (based on Laravel) for content-heavy sites

Laravel is a modern PHP framework that has everything I need to quickly build performant, testable, and secure web apps. This means that I can complete more features that make businesses more money.
