Currently finishing my M.S. in Data Science at Northwestern, graduating December 2025.
I am a data scientist, coder, writer and talker. I wear a lot of hats and like to learn through doing.
I believe the best data is rare data, and I am particularly interested in data acquisition from difficult sources.
I used to DJ a lot. I am still technically signed to Tommy Boy Records. Before that, I did genomic research at NYU.
