About Me

Hi, thank you for visiting my portfolio site! My name is Daniel and I recently graduated from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA with a major in statistics and minor in data science. I love to learn from data and believe that there is so much important, useful, and interesting knowledge to be discovered in the world. It is my goal to help do some of this pivotal discovery through statistical programming and data sciences. I have a tenacious work ethic so dedication to forward progress, open minded, and creative thinking are important to me. I am greatly interested in applications to social sciences, economics, and politics but am very open to working in any number of industries. So thank you for coming to my site! Here is some general info on me.
