Selected Projects

Sea Level Projection Tool

While at the University of Colorado, and in conjunction with the NASA Sea Level Change Team, I developed the Sea Level Projection Tool project. The project's aim is to provide a platform for bringing together sea level projection models from various disciplines within the scientific community. The project also aims to give coastal communities an easy way to interface with the most recent sea level projections.

MLB Draft Pick Trade Value

My good friend Hank and I developed a model to predict the trade value of players in the MLB draft. We were finalists in the Colorado Rockies 2016 case competition and presented to the Rockies' front office at Coors Field.

Background

I am a problem solver with a passion for discovery and learning. My first taste of data science involved investigating induced earthquakes in Oklahoma and I have been hooked ever since. While I originally thought I wanted to get a PhD in Remote Sensing, I decided to get a M.Sc. and pursue a career in the private sector.

In my free time I am an avid climber and enjoy fly fishing.
