A home for my explorations into transportation/sports!

Hello! 👋

I'm a data scientist based in Chicago, currently pursuing my master's degree in applied data science @ UChicago. In the last year I have completed research for the Chicago White Sox to develop a better understanding of hitting biomechanics, and interned at the transportation consultancy RSG.

I spend a lot of time thinking about car dependency in the U.S. and how investments in active and public transport can improve our cities. I'm also a sports fanatic, and love applying my quantitative background to better understand sports at all levels.

A collection of publicly-available projects I've worked on can be found below. If you'd like to get in touch, please reach out on LinkedIn!
