Who I Am

$ cat about.md

I am a data-driven graduate student pursuing an M.S. in Statistics and Data Science at UTSA, with a strong foundation in mathematics, applied statistics, and machine learning.

My work focuses on turning complex, real-world data into actionable insights through statistical modeling, exploratory analysis, and predictive analytics. I have hands-on experience building end-to-end data projects — from data acquisition and cleaning to model development, evaluation, and deployment — using tools such as Python, R, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, and Streamlit.

I have worked with structured and unstructured data across domains including human resources, supply chain, energy, social media, cybersecurity, and music analytics. I enjoy creating reproducible analyses and interactive visualizations that bridge the gap between technical rigor and practical decision-making.

Outside of data work, I build and maintain cloud infrastructure — including a self-hosted private cloud on AWS — and leverage generative AI tools to accelerate development workflows.
