About Me
MS graduate with a degree in Data Science. I also hold a BS in Mathematics and Physics. Proficient with data science skills such as Python, Machine Learning, Statistical Modeling, and Data Visualization. I'm dedicated to continuously learning to keep myself fresh in our changing world. My passion in life is to understand complex problems in mathematics. This has led me to studying a wide array of fields such as Abstract Algebra, Number Theory, Topology, and Analysis. I'm further motivated by the field of machine learning as it is a massively important to not only optimizing our lives, but could hold key insights into how we subconsciously experience and understand our world.
Education
What I've formally studied
August 2018 - May 2020
MS - University at Albany
Studied core areas of data science such as Statistics, Machine Learning, and Programming. Further studied the emerging field of Topological Data Analysis (TDA). Additional coursework in Functional Analysis, Convex Optimization and Python. Completed two practicums in lieu of a thesis; one in TDA and the other in machine learning. Graduated with a 4.0 GPA.
August 2017 - May 2019
BS - University at Albany
Mathematics and Physics degree. On the mathematics front I focused on the areas of Abstract Algebra, Probability, and Statistics, with additional coursework in Number Theory, Combinatorics, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations.
