Thanks for checking out my portfolio! My name’s Alex. I’m passionate about data science and working on projects that require tasks ranging from cleaning and analyzing data to sythensizing meaningful conclusions and presenting them in visually appealing and understandable ways. I’m interested in further developing my skillset in data analytics and aim to learn more about data science and engineering. On this website you can learn more about select projects that I worked on during my academic studies as well as learn more about who I am professionally and personally.

Why Data Science?

Never before have there been so many ways to collect and process information that can be applied to almost every aspect of our life today. Whether it be something as large as determining the direction an organization takes or something smaller such as what market research shows for a particular product, all decisions are at least in part informed by what the data says. Having a very quantiative and analytical background, I hope to lend my skills to help achieve a range of data-driven tasks, some of which are listed below.

What I Bring:

  • Data Analysis Techniques:
    • RStudio, Excel, SQL
    • A/B Testing
    • Synthetic Control
    • Multi-Variable Linear Regressions
    • Time Trends Analysis
    • Regression Matching and Fixed Effects
  • Data Visualization:
    • Graphs, plots, trends using RStudio (ggplot package) and Excel
    • Interative geographic maps with summary statistics "pop-up"
  • Report/Presentation skills:
    • Synthesize findings in concise summary/report
    • Present what is necessary/relevant for the task

The world of data science is ever-changing with new ways to more efficiently analyze findings, especially with the advent of AI and machine learning. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be in the field, and I aim to take part and get a chance to not only develop my current skills, but learn more about what’s new in the field of data analytics.
