Summary
Data Scientist • Educator • Statistician • Researcher
I blend deep statistical training with hands-on data science and college-level teaching. Strengths include building and validating stochastic/financial models, statistical inference, experimental design, and clear communication of results to technical and non-technical audiences. Current work centers on financial modeling with Lévy processes, risk analysis, and reproducible analytics in R and Python.
I have 13+ years of university-level teaching and curriculum development, and completed a Data Engineering Fellowship at The Data Incubator (TDI). Recent efforts include designing R supplements, interactive syllabi, and data-driven course materials that emphasize practical modeling and reproducible workflows.
Core strengths: statistical modeling; time series & regression; probability & simulation; R/Python workflows; data visualization; teaching & mentoring; financial/risk modeling.
