I left the world of academia for a career in data science. Through  years of industry experience I have developed skills as a full stack data scientist in the areas of data engineering, machine learning, data visualization, and productizing data science models. More recently I have been working as a research scientist with a focus on computer vision and deep learning.

I  have experience teaching thousands of students in mathematics at the university level as well as thousands of students on Udemy in areas like math, SQL, and coding. I  love to learn and teach others what I am learning.

I enjoy hanging out with my wife and three kids, playing guitar, playing basketball, biking, and learning.
