About
Thank you for visitng my website! My name is Noah and I'm Currently studying Economics with a minor in Mathematics at Arizona State University with an expected graduation date of Winter 2023. I'm passionate about the applications of statistics and machine learning to guide decision making, develop data products and test/develop new hypotheses. Other interests of mine include combat sports, sparring, reading, teaching, cooking, coffee, reading, and good food!!
Through internships, projects & coursework I've developed extensive experience with python for: data analysis, cleaning, visualization and modeling. In addition I have experience with SQL, Azure DevOps, agile methodologies and AWS cloud services. Further I'm familiar with a wide variety of ML models including but not limited too: Generalized Linear Models, Regression/Classification tree based methods, boosted models and more.
