About

I am passionate about building predictive models to deliver new and impactful products. I approach problems with a growth mindset and actively seek new opportunities that push me to constantly learn and improve. My strong technical background, ability to learn quickly, and solid statistics fundamentals have allowed me to successfully move between data mining and machine learning projects.
