Math and science fascinated me ever since my tender childhood, so it was no surprise that I majored in math and physics, then went all the way to a Physics PhD. After graduating, I joined Oak Ridge National Lab as research scientist, and built a cathodoluminescence apparatus capable of collecting light at the atomic level.
In 2015, I took a break to pursue my other passion: food. So I built a packaged food business from the ground up and distributed to stores regionally.
Eventually, the itch for math caught up with me, so I took time to study the latest in statistics, machine learning, and computer science to become a data scientist.
