Curriculum Vitae
I believe that words and data are the two most powerful tools to change the "world". I am mostly programming and working on gaining insights from large data sets and interpreting them. My skills include network & statistical data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, and statistical consulting. I have developed a keen understanding of problem-solving and enjoy challenges.
Occasionally, in my free time, I work on things that are important to me as well, like creating personal projects and writing tutorials.

Languages
Interests
I love going to the theater; it makes me feel immersed in new exciting worlds. Traveling and learning about new cultures is a quality of life for me, and my many language skills make interacting easier. Movie nights with my family or just listening to music are interests which I value much.
