About Me
I live in Columbus, Ohio and work on a data science team at Abercrombie. Before Abercrombie, I worked as a consultant while studying statistics and computer science at Ohio State University (Class of 2018). During college and high school, I made iOS apps and got involved in programming competitions. I started programming in JavaScript and Java when I was 14, but now I usually write code in Python. Most of my experience in the last few years has been machine learning, data engineering, and backend development. I occasionally write code for fun in my spare time.
What about stuff outside of technology?
- I love playing soccer and eating Indian food
- On top of that, I enjoy snowboarding when I get the chance
- I usually listen to either soft rock or hip-hop
- I've done a triathlon and a few bike tours
- I'm halfway through visiting all 50 U.S. states
- I played the piano actively for 10+ years
- I'm trying to stop eating meat and dairy
- My favorite TV show is The Office
