About Me
A math and science nerd looking for work in the data analysis field. I've previously worked as an analyst in medical management consulting and worldwide freight-forwarding logistics and am returning to data analysis after working as a math teacher and tutor.
I sometimes spend more time making spreadsheets to analyze video games than actually playing them
and have extensive professional experience with Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel
(including VBA Macros and both Office Suites.)
Other video game time-thieves include Python and AutoHotkey,
and I also have practice with SQL, R, Java, C,
and familiarity with Tableau, HTML, CSS, and PHP.
